microservices-patterns

Comprehensive guide to designing distributed systems with service boundaries, communication patterns, and resilience strategies.

- Covers service decomposition by business capability and domain-driven design, with the Strangler Fig pattern for gradual monolith migration

- Includes synchronous (REST, gRPC) and asynchronous (Kafka, message queues) communication patterns with event-driven architecture examples

- Provides Saga pattern implementation for distributed transactions with compensating actions and eventual consistency

- Features resilience patterns including Circuit Breaker, retry with exponential backoff, and bulkhead isolation to prevent cascade failures

- Includes production-ready Python code examples for API gateways, event buses, saga orchestration, and circuit breaker implementations

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
