Microservices are (usually API style) services or applications which perform a specific task that other web services or applications can leverage. They are typically middleware type components that enable:
- Simplification of a web application (or service) by separating out specific utility tasks into a separate component, and/or
- Standardization and provision of the same process that can be used by multiple web applications or other services, and/or
- Predefined information or processes to bridge (or be shared between) organizations without direct network connections.
