Lesson 134 - What is a Service?

Is there a difference between a “service” and a “microservices”? Is it okay to interchange these terms? In this lesson Mark Richards explores this distinction, and also shows how the characteristics of a service (as well as its name!) differ between various distributed architecture styles.

Hi Mark, the chapters in your book Fundamentals of Software Architecture that describe the various architecture styles and provide a star comparison of their natural quality attributes are just epic. Thank you for co-writing such a great book.

Difference hide in their name itself - service denotes larger business units and micro means small which denote smallest business unit.

Just saw all your videos. This is the last one. In one of your videos you talked about Java annotations for bounded context. I like your idea but couldn't see that the shell- script in your Github.
