Microservices: Decomposing Applications for Deployability and Scalability

Hello!

My most recent start-up company went for the architecture concept that implies microservices/microsystems which communicate with the client side via API gateway. This is something new for me and requires some time to understand or find appropriate examples.

The following article explains that concept: https://www.infoq.com/articles/microservices-intro

Can someone comment on this or explain with few examples what does it all mean?

While learning JS here on Treehouse, I have heard Andrew Chalkley (@chalkers) mentioned that, for example, the data of the user profile on Treehouse, is retrieved from JSON obejct, which as I understand, pushed from the backend. So it looks like an aggregated data object that comes from the different places (maybe these microsystems?) e.g. https://teamtreehouse.com/YOURUSERNAME.json. Is this by any chance something close to the above topic?
