The term microservices refers to modular extension options for cloud computing solutions, which are provided and maintained completely independently of the application software. The scope of this provision can range from individual process aids to complex embedding in the existing application software of an external CRM system. The communication for the respective data exchange among each other is designed e.g. via a provision of compatible API interfaces and protocols. They are located on different servers and separate operating system environments, so that mutual interference is ruled out.
Advantages of microservices
- Variable integration options for new features
- Flexible and fast exchange of different possible service solutions
- No additional burden on application or computer resources.
- Simultaneous operation of multiple service solutions on a cloud computing architecture is possible.
- Detached development environments between application software and microservice
