Microservices architecture decomposes applications into smaller, independent services, enabling better scalability, team ownership, and fault isolation.
What are microservices?
Microservices are a collection of loosely coupled services that work together but are developed and deployed independently.
Why switch from monolith to microservices?
Microservices allow better scaling, faster deployment, and easier debugging of isolated modules.
1. Decomposition of Services
Each microservice is focused on a single business capability—making it easier to scale and modify. Read more
2. Communication via APIs
Microservices communicate over HTTP/REST, gRPC, or messaging queues like Kafka. Read more
3. Independent Deployments
Teams can deploy, scale, and update services independently—boosting agility. Read more
1. Design with Domain-Driven Design (DDD)
Break services based on business domains to keep boundaries clear and responsibilities focused.
2. Handle Failures Gracefully
Use circuit breakers and retries to manage inter-service failure scenarios.
3. Automate DevOps and CI/CD
Automate builds and deployments for each service to maximize speed and reliability.
4. Use Centralized Monitoring
Track logs, metrics, and alerts using tools like Prometheus, Grafana, or ELK stack.
5. Secure Each Service
Use API gateways, authentication tokens, and mutual TLS for secure communication.
Microservices offer modularity and flexibility for large-scale apps. Start small, split wisely, and invest in good observability and DevOps to reap their full benefits.
