Modern Microservices Architecture 2025
The term “Microservices Architecture” has evolved from a trend to a foundational approach for building scalable, resilient, and maintainable distributed systems. Unlike the complex vendor-driven SOA approaches of the past, modern microservices in 2025 embrace cloud-native principles, automated operations, and developer productivity.
