Welcome to the Microservices Design Guide! This resource provides essential insights into designing scalable, resilient, and maintainable microservices architectures. 🚀

Key Principles of Microservices

  • Single Responsibility: Each service should handle a specific business function.
  • Decentralized Data: Services own their databases to avoid tight coupling.
  • Independent Deployment: Services must be deployable independently of others.
  • API-First Design: Define clear RESTful or gRPC interfaces for communication.

Common Architecture Patterns

  1. Service Mesh

    Service_Mesh

    A layer for managing service-to-service communication.

  2. Event-Driven

    Event_Driven_Architecture

    Services react to events to enable asynchronous workflows.

  3. API Gateway

    API_Gateway

    Central entry point for routing requests to backend services.

Best Practices

  • Use containerization (e.g., Docker) for consistent environments. 📦
  • Implement CI/CD pipelines for automated testing and deployment. ⚙️
  • Prioritize observability with logging, metrics, and tracing tools. 🔍
  • Design for failure resilience using circuit breakers and retries. ⚠️
