From Googling this, it looks like "microservices" means different things to
different people.

As always with every new theme that permeates developer consciousness.

To me, the microservice concept is:


- Factoring services provided by a backend host of any kind into "do one
thing well".
- Optionally a gateway microservice routes (and authenticates and logs,
etc.) service requests (so you don't exhaust port numbers).
- A front end (or middle tier in a 3-tier system) makes service requests
and weaves the results into content.
- The front end interacts with users or automated clients and weaves
content into http(s) presentation.
