There are several ways to define "microservices," but in general, they refer to a method of organizing software applications as a collection of small, independent services that communicate with each other through APIs (Application Programming Interfaces). Each microservice performs a specific function or set of functions and can be deployed and scaled independently of the others. This approach allows for more flexibility, agility, and scalability in building and maintaining software applications. Additionally, microservices have the potential to improve overall software reliability, maintainability, and performance.
