Defining and implementing microservices in NestJS

Building on the NestJS foundations we’ve established in earlier chapters, in this section, we will focus on defining and implementing microservices within our existing NestJS environment. By transitioning from a monolithic architecture to a microservices-oriented architecture, we’ll harness NestJS’ robust capabilities for managing complex, scalable systems.

We’ll explore how NestJS supports microservices architectures through its modular approach and built-in features that facilitate service independence and inter-service communication. The transition from a monolithic architecture to a microservices-oriented one is vital for developers aiming to create systems that are scalable, easier to maintain, and capable of evolving over time.

Throughout this section, we’ll delve into the practical steps required to restructure your NestJS applications into microservices.
