Megan has been asked to implement her organization's service-oriented architecture as a set of microservices. What does she need to use?

Microservice architectures are designed to construct applications as a group of services that are loosely linked and offer distinct functions using lightweight protocols. This approach does not set a specific size limit for the systems, but it is characterized by a lack of tightly coupled elements. Typically, open-standards-based protocols are chosen, but the emphasis is on lightweight protocols. Additionally, there is no requirement that services must be exclusively in-house or third-party.
