Microservices are small, autonomous services that are loosely coupled and help address challenges like rapidly changing requirements. A notification microservice is implemented using a pub/sub model with Kafka and stores client-specific data separately. This microservice architecture allows for technology heterogeneity, resilience, easier scaling and deployment compared to a monolithic application structure. The notification microservice reads templates, sends emails through SendGrid and publishes events to a Kafka topic.
