Microservice definition

Microservice means a Client owned or operated, bespoke application service component that is independently deployable and that serves a very targeted function within the context of a single software Application. A number of Microservices will be required to collectively deliver an overarching Application capability as a suite of small services, each running its own process and communicating with lightweight mechanisms (HTTP or SOAP for synchronous transactions or AMQP for asynchronous transactions);
