Microservices are one of the most important and popular software architecture trends. This architecture forms the base for a lot of companies including: Amazon, Netflix, Spotify, and Uber. 

In this course you’ll learn microservices in depth and understand reasons for and against microservices. Beyond that, you’ll learn about Micro and Macro architecture, strategies for migrating old systems, the role of Docker in this architecture, and technologies for implementing microservices. 

After taking this course, you’ll be better equipped to implement microservices for your own use.

An Introduction to Microservice Principles and Concepts

# Why are microservices so important?

>One of the **strengths** of microservices is that different technologies can be used in *each individual microservice*. 

The technologies in the microservices can be defined as part of the microarchitecture (see [chapter 3](https://www.educative.io/courses/introduction-microservice-principles-concepts/introduction-qAj0kkomoNk)).

However, there are **technical challenges** to consider when **selecting technologies** for microservices.

# Chapter walkthrough 
This chapter explains **how to deal with the technical microarchitecture:**

-  The reader gets to know the **requirements** regarding, e.g., operation or resilience, which the microarchitecture has to fulfill. 

- Often microservices are implemented with **reactive technologies**. Thus, the chapter discusses this option in more detail and explains when this approach makes sense.

- As a concrete example of technical microarchitecture, the chapter shows **Spring Boot** and **Spring Cloud**.

- Based on Spring Boot and Spring Cloud, the chapter shows how the **technical requirements the microarchitecture** has to address can be **fulfilled**.

- In addition, the chapter shows how the **programming language Go** in conjunction with appropriate frameworks fulfills the requirements **for implementing microservices.**




In this lesson, we'll get a walkthrough of what this chapter holds for us.
