A microservice architecture assumes that a web application is built from little bricks called services. Ideally, all these bricks are independent, making it possible to use new technologies during the development process as you are not coupled with any tech stack. Your software solution becomes more flexible for changes and easier to deploy and to develop continuous integration and continuous delivery.

The software development process for an embedded device is not a one-time action. Even if you have managed to make your code “bug-free”, there are always improvements or new features to add along the way.
