Erillismoduuli

Erillismoduuli is a term that translates from Finnish to English as "separate module" or "dedicated module." It generally refers to a component or subsystem within a larger system that is designed to perform a specific, distinct function independently of other parts. This separation can be physical, logical, or functional.

In software engineering, an erillismoduuli might be a microservice, a library, or a plug-in designed to handle a particular task. The benefit of such modularity is that it allows for easier development, testing, and maintenance. If one module needs to be updated or replaced, it can be done without affecting the rest of the system. This promotes code reusability and improves scalability.

In hardware or engineering contexts, an erillismoduuli could be a self-contained unit like a power supply, a sensor array, or a control board. These modules are often designed to be swappable, facilitating repairs or upgrades. The principle remains the same: isolating functionality to enhance manageability and reliability of the overall system. The concept emphasizes encapsulation and loose coupling between different parts of a system.
