Microservices architecture enables organisations to build scalable, maintainable systems. This guide covers essential patterns and practices for successful implementation.
Defining Service Boundaries
Service boundaries matter. Define services around business capabilities, not technical layers. Each service should be independently deployable and own its data.
Communication Patterns
Communication patterns vary by use case. Use synchronous REST or gRPC for real-time requests. Implement asynchronous messaging for event-driven workflows using Kafka or RabbitMQ.
Building Resilient Services
Resilience is non-negotiable. Implement circuit breakers, retries with backoff, and bulkheads. Use service meshes like Istio for consistent observability and traffic management.
