What is a defining characteristic of trunk-based development?

The main branch is only updated once per release cycle.

Each developer has a private copy of the repository and never shares changes.

All developers work on long-lived feature branches that are merged at the end of the project.

Developers integrate their changes into a single shared branch (the trunk) frequently, often daily.

What is a key benefit of microservices compared to a monolithic architecture?

Independent scaling of individual services based on demand.

No need for network communication between components.

Simpler deployment because there is only one artifact.

Easier to manage because all code is in one place.

What is the primary purpose of containerization in software development?

To provide a graphical user interface for managing servers.

To replace the need for version control systems.

To compile code into machine language.

To provide a consistent runtime environment across different systems.

What is the primary purpose of unit tests?

To validate the performance of the application under load.

To test the interaction between multiple modules or services.

To test the entire application as a user would experience it.

To verify that individual components or functions work correctly in isolation.
