Introduction to Microservices

Microservices split applications into independently deployable services with clear API contracts.

Service Design Principles

Each service should have single responsibility and own its data boundaries.

Communication Patterns

Use REST for synchronous flows and message brokers for asynchronous event processing.

Data Management Strategies

Implement resilient consistency approaches and observability across services.

Deployment and Monitoring

Containerization and telemetry are essential for operating distributed systems confidently.
