Each microservice should have a single responsibility and should encapsulate one business capability. This means:
One business function: Service handles one specific business area
One reason to change: Service changes only when that business area changes
Clear boundaries: Well-defined inputs, outputs, and responsibilities
Example: A user service should only handle user-related operations (authentication, profile management) and not mix in order processing or payment logic.
