Can you explain what the ServiceManager component is in application architecture?

The ServiceManager component in application architecture is responsible for managing services — a centralized object that creates, stores, and provides access to various application services.

Main functions of ServiceManager:

• Initializing services (e.g., network, database, logging).
• Providing a single access point to services.
• Managing the lifecycle of services.

This helps reduce component coupling and simplifies testing, as services can be easily replaced or mocked.
