Microservices Architecture

The world of software development is constantly evolving. As applications grow in complexity, traditional monolithic architectures struggle to keep pace. This chapter dives into some key design patterns that empower developers to build scalable and resilient systems – an API gateway, Command Query Responsibility Segregation (CQRS), event sourcing, and Service Registry and discovery.

These patterns, particularly when used together within a microservices architecture, offer numerous benefits. They promote loose coupling between services, making them easier to develop, maintain, and deploy independently. They also enhance scalability by allowing individual services to be scaled based on specific needs. Additionally, these patterns contribute to improved fault tolerance and resilience, ensuring that your application remains robust even if individual services encounter issues.

This chapter will provide a comprehensive introduction to each of these...
