Microservices architecture structures an application as independently deployable services. Each service typically owns a focused business capability.
Key principles
- Clear service boundaries
- Independent deployment
- Well-defined APIs
- Appropriate data ownership
- Automation and observability
Common challenges
Distributed systems introduce network failures, data consistency concerns, operational complexity and more difficult debugging.
Supporting technologies
API gateways, containers, Kubernetes, service discovery, message brokers, CI/CD and distributed tracing are commonly used.
