Have you worked with microservice architecture at your current job?

Yes, at my previous job, a microservices architecture was used. This allowed breaking down a large monolithic application into independent services, each responsible for its own business logic.

The advantages I noted:

• Easier to scale individual components.
• Rapid development and deployment of individual services.
• Improved fault tolerance — a failure of one service does not affect the entire system.

In practice, I participated in the development and testing of REST API microservices, ensured integration testing of interactions between services, and also helped with setting up CI/CD for automatic deployment.

For communication between services, HTTP REST and message queues (e.g., Kafka) were used.
