Microservices are emerging as a new computing paradigm which is a suitable complementation of cloud computing.
Microservices decompose traditional monolithic applications into a set of fine-grained services which can be independently
developed, tested and deployed. In this work we have developed an e-commerce web application using microservices architecture.
The drawbacks of monolithic architecture are overcome by microservices in building the e-commerce web application. The web
application is developed using MERN stack technology. The services developed in the application are containerized using
Docker containers.
