Microapps are modular pieces of software that perform a specific action – as opposed to a larger monolithic application that incorporates many features. Although they run independently like any app or website, microapps are small, simple, autonomous, and they allow you to perform a single task without necessarily leaving the environment you’re currently using. Since they’re modular, connecting a microapp to an existing application is an easy way to extend and simplify its functionality.

The 5 Best API Management Solutions
