Explain any few FMA Services.
FMA is a service-oriented architecture, all services are independent of each other and each
Service runs
complete separated from the other services, as a result, each service also has its own separate
database
connection string: if one service fails, it will not directly affect any of other services.
Although FMA services run completely isolated (independent) from each other, internal

Over the years, it has evolved from 6 services to 18 services in total.
