If you are reading this blog, that means you have heard the terms: APIs and Microservices Development. But many folks have misconceptions that microservices are fine-grained web services or that APIs are equivalent to microservices. These all show fundamental misconceptions, so I created this article to break that out and talk about the key differences between Microservices and APIs. If you are one of them, this article will help you understand the difference between those two concepts. 

APIs and Microservices both have equal weightage. In this blog, we will understand both APIs and microservices separately, how they both are different from each other, and how they fit together in modern-day web applications.
