Summary
As we conclude Chapter 9, we’ve journeyed through the fundamental aspects of microservices architecture, gaining a comprehensive understanding of its principles and architectural styles.
Beginning with an exploration of microservices’ core concepts, we uncovered their pivotal role in modern software development, emphasizing modularity, scalability, and autonomy. Delving deeper, we examined the benefits and challenges inherent in microservices, acknowledging the trade-offs associated with decentralized systems.
Our exploration extended to the key architectural styles of microservices, including EDA, database per service, and API Gateway. Each style offers unique principles and patterns, empowering architects and developers to design systems tailored to specific requirements and constraints, as we learned in this chapter.
It’s clear that microservices architecture is not a one-size-fits-all solution. Instead, success lies in strategically combining...
