Understanding Microservices Architecture
Microservices architecture decomposes applications into small, independent services that communicate over well-defined APIs.
When to Consider Microservices
- Team Scale: Multiple development teams working on different features
- Technology Diversity: Different services require different technologies
- Independent Deployment: Need to deploy services at different cadences
- Scalability Requirements: Different parts of the system have varying load patterns
Decomposition Strategies
Identify bounded contexts within your application domain. Each microservice should represent a specific business capability.
Implementation Challenges
Choose between synchronous and asynchronous communication patterns. Implement distributed tracing and centralized logging.
