Microservices Patterns
This is a solid reference for implementing microservices patterns like service decomposition, API gateways, and the saga pattern for distributed transactions. You get practical examples of event-driven communication with Kafka, circuit breakers, and the strangler fig pattern for breaking up monoliths. The code samples are actually useful, showing real implementations of retry logic, compensating transactions, and database-per-service patterns. If you're moving from a monolith to microservices or designing inter-service communication, this covers the essential patterns without the usual enterprise architecture handwaving. The saga orchestration example alone is worth looking at if you need to coordinate distributed transactions.

Microservices Patterns
Master microservices architecture patterns including service boundaries, inter-service communication, data management, and resilience patterns for building distributed systems.
When to Use This Skill
- Decomposing monoliths into microservices
- Designing service boundaries and contracts
- Implementing inter-service communication
- Managing distributed data and transactions
- Building resilient distributed systems
- Implementing service discovery and load balancing
- Designing event-driven architectures
Core Concepts
1. Service Decomposition Strategies
By Business Capability
- Organize services around business functions
- Each service owns its domain
- Example: OrderService, PaymentService, InventoryService
By Subdomain (DDD)
- Core domain, supporting subdomains
- Bounded contexts map to services
- Clear ownership and responsibility
Strangler Fig Pattern
- Gradually extract from monolith
- New functionality as microservices
- Proxy routes to old/new systems
2. Communication Patterns
Synchronous (Request/Response)
- REST APIs
- gRPC
- GraphQL
