Summary
In this chapter, you learned about the fundamentals of microservices with the help of a few examples.
We explored the evolution of microservices from traditional monolithic applications. We examined some of the principles and the mind shift required for modern application architectures. We also took a look at the characteristics and benefits of microservices and use cases. In this chapter, we established the microservices' relationship with service-oriented architecture and Twelve-Factor Apps. Lastly, we analyzed examples of a few enterprises from different industries.
We will develop a few sample microservices in the next chapter to bring more clarity to our learnings in this chapter.
