Microservices Design Patterns

Introduction

Microservices are an architectural style where an application is structured as a collection of small, independent services that communicate with each other.

Benefits include scalability, independent deployment, technology diversity, and fault isolation.

Common Design Patterns

Here are some key patterns to consider:

• Strangler Fig:** Gradually replace legacy systems with microservices.
• Bulkhead:** Isolates failures within a single service.
• API Gateway:** Manages and routes requests to different services.
• Circuit Breaker:** Prevents cascading failures by stopping requests to failing services.
• CQRS (Command Query Responsibility Segregation):** Separates command and query logic for optimized performance.
