Microservices vs. Traditional Architecture
🏛️ Traditional architecture integrates all features (e.g., product catalog, shopping cart, order screen) into a single application with a single database, leading to tightly coupled dependencies.
🔄 In contrast, microservices architecture builds each feature in isolation, making them independent and communicating asynchronously via HTTP REST or a message bus.

Benefits of Microservices
🚀 Enables frequent and routine deployments (multiple times a day) because services are small, isolated, and deployed independently, unlike monolithic applications deployed seldom (weeks or months).
⚖️ Offers efficient scalability, allowing only specific services under increased load (e.g., 10 instances of a search feature) to be scaled up, thereby saving resources compared to scaling the entire application.
🛡️ Provides increased resilience as each isolated feature is designed to handle events even when other services fail, improving overall system robustness.

Key Points & Insights
⏱️ Adopting microservices critically improves business agility and time to market, shifting deployment cycles from being measured in months to being measured in days.
💡 While potentially more complex and requiring stronger collaboration during development, microservices offer significant advantages over the challenges of large monolithic packages.
🎯 It's important to note that not every application is suited for a microservices approach, and the video presents simplified concepts.
