<ul><li>Microservices design software applications as a collection of small, self-contained services with a specific job.</li><li>In microservices architecture, each service can use its own tools and languages. </li><li>API Gateway is the main component in microservices which act as the front door and handles tasks like authentication.</li><li>Microservices are ideal for growing applications and for scaling specific features independently.</li><li>Design microservices by defining boundaries, avoiding over-communication, and decoupling services by reducing dependency.</li><li>Microservices come with challenges of complexity, data consistency, latency, and debugging.</li><li>The best practices to make microservices architecture successful are to start small while considering simplicity and monitoring tools.</li><li>Java, Python, Node.js, or Go programming languages and Spring Boot, Express.js, and Kubernetes frameworks are popular.</li><li>RabbitMQ and Apache Kafka can be used for asynchronous communication.</li><li>Microservices bring scalability and resilience to applications but careful planning and management is necessary.</li></ul>
