What is the difference between Spring Boot and Microservices?
Spring Boot is a FRAMEWORK for building applications quickly with minimal configuration — it works equally well for a monolith or a single microservice. Microservices is an ARCHITECTURAL STYLE for structuring an entire system as a collection of small, independently deployable services — Spring Boot is simply a popular, convenient tool for implementing each individual microservice in that architecture, not a requirement of the architecture itself.
