Summary

In this chapter, we learned about domain-driven design and the importance of identifying the right bounded context for microservices. We learned about the hexagonal architecture for microservices and various messaging patterns. We also discussed data management patterns for microservices and how to set up service registries to discover microservices. We concluded with the importance of automating the entire microservice deployment cycle including testing, deployment, and scaling. In the next chapter, we will introduce a real-life use case for microservices and learn how to design an application using the concepts learned in this chapter.
