Microservices break down monolithic apps into independent services. Learn the fundamentals.
Benefits
Scalability, technology diversity, and faster deployment. Each service can be developed independently.
Challenges
Distributed systems complexity, data consistency, and service communication via APIs.
- Use API Gateway for routing.
- Implement service discovery with Consul.
- Monitor with Prometheus and Grafana.
Implementation
Start with domain-driven design to identify bounded contexts. Use Docker and Kubernetes for orchestration.
Best Practices
Design for failure, automate testing, and maintain loose coupling between services.
Microservices enable agility. Architect your system.
