What is RESTful microservices?

RESTful microservices are an architectural approach to building applications as a suite of small, independent, and self-contained services. Each microservice represents a specific business capability and communicates with other microservices using lightweight mechanisms, often an HTTP resource API. REST (Representational State Transfer) is a popular architectural style for building these APIs, emphasizing stateless communication and the use of standard HTTP methods (GET, POST, PUT, DELETE) to interact with resources. This approach promotes scalability, fault isolation, and independent development and deployment.
