Which architectural pattern is best described by a design that breaks down an application into smaller, interconnected services, each responsible for a specific business function?
The microservices pattern is characterized by creating a suite of small, independently deployable services. Each service in a microservices architecture can be deployed, upgraded, scaled, and restarted independent of other services in the application. This differs from a monolithic architecture where all the functionality is handled within one large codebase and from other patterns like event-driven where services may interact primarily based on events rather than direct communication.
