The Microkernel Architecture style has been around for a very long time, and actually has its roots in operating systems. This architecture style leverages plug-ins, hence its alternative name, the Plug-in architecture style. In this lesson I describe the microkernel architecture, talk about its strengths and weaknesses, and explain when you should use it, and when you should avoid using it.
