Understanding Microservices

Second Johannes Thönes' Microservices Paper 

What's Microservices ?

Small application that can be deployed independently, scaled independently, and tested independently and that has a single responsibility. 
Single responsibility does only one thing and thing alone. In addition it can be easily understood. 
One thing might be a single responsibility in terms of a functional requirement, or it might be a in terms of a non-functional requirement or cross-functional requirements.

Why Microservices now ?

Big application! It's difficult to actually any make functional changes to it. It's necessary to deploy this application into the cloud. It's necessary software as a service, but at the moment that  is impossible.
