Just as a LEGO set consists of multiple pieces that you put together to build different structures, microservices are small, independent components that you can combine to build larger applications. This is a stark departure from the traditional monolithic architecture, where an application is developed as a single unit, often leading to less flexible and harder-to-maintain monolithic apps.

@estherschindler just don’t forget to mutually authenticate the LEGO bits that connect to each other. :)
