Mikroszolgáltatás

Mikroszolgáltatás is a Hungarian term that translates to "microservice" in English. It refers to an architectural style that structures an application as a collection of small, autonomous services, each focused on a specific business capability. These services are independently deployable, scalable, and maintainable, making them a popular choice for modern software development.

The microservice architecture contrasts with the traditional monolithic approach, where an entire application is built as a single, unified unit. In a microservice architecture, each service typically communicates with others through lightweight protocols, such as HTTP APIs. This decentralization allows teams to work on different services concurrently and use the best technology for each specific task.

Key characteristics of microservices include their small scope, independent deployability, and resilience. If one microservice fails, it ideally does not bring down the entire application. They are often organized around business domains rather than technical layers, promoting better alignment with business needs. This architectural style can lead to increased agility, faster development cycles, and improved scalability, but it also introduces complexities in terms of distributed system management and operational overhead.
