Cohesion is a measure of the number of relationships that parts of a component have with each other.

High cohesion means that : All of the parts that are needed to deliver the component's functionality are included in the component.

Coupling is a measure of the number of ... See more

Problem : Tight coupling leads to fragility - a change in one microservice breaks connected services.
