Microservices 101

Impress anyone with these buzzwords: …

What is a Microservice?

Before answering that, I want to answer what is NOT:

Monolith Server: The most traditional approach to create an application, e.g. an application contains a client-side, a server-side and a database, and relies on a single server.

Service Oriented Architecture (SOA): The application consists of cohesive business processes, communicating through Enterprise Service Bus (ESB).
