Microservice: Sole Responsibility #4

Single Responsibility is a principle that states that each microservice should be responsible for performing a single specific task or function within the system. This means that each microservice must have a well-defined and limited scope, without worrying about the functions performed by other services.

For example, a user management service should only be responsible for registering, authenticating, and managing users, without worrying about other system functionality. An order processing service should only be responsible for order processing and not be concerned with other aspects of the system.

This principle helps ensure that each service is cohesive and focused on a single task, which makes it easier to maintain, update, and scale the system as a whole. Also, when services are limited in scope, they become easier to understand, test, and debug.

In short, Single Responsibility is an important principle in microservices architecture as it helps ensure the modularity, simplicity, and scalability of the system.
