What's a microservice architecture?

- [Instructor] As I was designing this course, I asked myself, what would I have found most helpful as I was learning how to debug and tune Node applications? How are modern scalable applications built? What do engineers find challenging? What's missing from existing debugging and performance tuning tutorials and documentation? What avoids complexities specific to front-end frameworks and focuses on the back end? Finally, what's an example of a high-performance application design? The answer to all these questions is a microservice architecture. Throughout this chapter, we're gonna be learning the fundamentals of microservices. We'll explore how our application was built and why it matters. We'll manage multiple Node.js services at the same time. Finally, we'll start and explore our rock paper scissors application. So what is a microservice architecture? A microservice architecture is when an application is built from a collection of independent, modular services. Each service…
