TL;DR? Just look for the “Symfony Events for microservices” section for a sample code. But - really - if you want to understand the Symfony & Microservice implementation concept, please keep reading. It’s just a few minutes.

Have you heard of microservices? It’s not about trendy cafes but rather about breaking down software into independent Lego-like pieces instead of a massive monolith. Each microservice acts like a mini superhero, handling tasks independently.

Describing microservices

What are Microservices?

Imagine building a web app with specialized services: one for user authentication, another for data storage, and another for sending emails. It’s like a team of specialists, simplifying development, deployment, and scalability.

Microservices avoid tangled dependencies and offer resilience. Need to update one service? No problem. If one service has an issue, it only affects a portion of the system. It’s modular software development for a secure and stable system, ready to conquer the digital realm, one microservice at a time.
