I was confused that a micro-service (architecture) is just renaming SOA / Rest API / what-so-ever and connecting different components with a scalable message bus. And, now, you point out some great distinctions from those :) ty.

'''does not access common data repositories and stores its own data isolated'''

&

'''does its job and then pushes a new message on the queue with the results, it never talks via the network layer to anyone else for coordination or status'''
