## Overview

When starting your journey as a microservice developer for Cumulocity IoT you most probably start with a simple hello-world microservice to understand the basics how to develop and deploy it to Cumulocity IoT.

If you have a specific use case and more comprehensive logic must be implemented you dig more into the capabilities of microservices which includes concepts like Context Services, Authentication & Authorization concepts, complex C8Y API Queries, Monitoring & Logging of microservices and many more.

Some of the concepts are documented in the official documentation:

> **[Introduction - Cumulocity documentation](https://cumulocity.com/docs/microservice-sdk/microservice-sdk-introduction/)**
>
> This documentation offers comprehensive information on the Cumulocity platform both from a user and from a developer perspective. It reflects the latest state of the Cumulocity platform and is continuously updated to align with recent software...

Others are very project specific and are not documented.

> **To address the need of Best Practices for Microservices Development we will launch a series of articles here at Tech Community and share Best Practices of all kind.**
