Introduction

This article will cover the topic of application programming interfaces, which is an essential unit that makes up the microservice architecture.

The Microservice Architecture.

The micro service architecture is a type of application architecture where the application is broken into several units, communicating effectively with each other over a network protocol. In contrast to monolith applications, which contains the entire logic, client side and server side units in one package that is deployed on a server. On the other hand, the Microservice architecture has its units loosely coupled together, and in most cases distributed across multiple system servers. This is why in many cases, the micro service architecture is referred to as a type of distributed system.
