Designing and Implementing
Microservices
Hina Arora
Microservices
Gateway Pattern
Use an API Gateway to handle client requests
and route them to the appropriate
microservices. This centralized authentication,
load balancing, and routing logic.
Hina Arora
Microservices
Service Registry Pattern
Implement a service registry to automatically
locate and register microservices. This helps in
dynamic discovery and communication
between services.
Hina Arora
Microservices
Circuit Breaker Pattern
Prevent cascading failures by using a
circuit breaker that can temporarily stop
requests to a failing service and provide
fallback mechanisms.
Hina Arora
Microservices
Saga Pattern
Manage long-lived transactions across
multiple microservices by breaking them
down into a sequence of smaller, local
transactions.
Hina Arora
Microservices
CQRS Pattern
Separate the read and write
responsibilities of a system, allowing for
optimized performance and scalability.
Hina Arora
Microservices
Bulkhead Pattern
Isolate failures within separate sections
to prevent them from affecting the
entire system.
Hina Arora
Microservices
Sidecar Pattern
Attach a separate microservice (sidecar)
to handle specific tasks like monitoring,
logging, or authentication.
Hina Arora
Microservices
API Composition Pattern
Combine multiple microservices to create
a more complex and feature-rich API for
clients.
Hina Arora
Microservices
Event-Driven Architecture Pattern
Communicate between microservices
through events, enabling loose coupling
and scalability.
Hina Arora
Microservices
Database per Service Pattern
Each microservice has its own dedicated
database to ensure loose coupling and
autonomy.
Hina Arora
Microservices
Retry Pattern
Automatically retry failed operations to
improve the chances of success.
Hina Arora
Microservices
Configuration Externalization
Pattern
Store configuration settings outside the
codebase for easier management and
updates.
Hina Arora
Microservices
Strangler Fig Pattern
Gradually replace components of a legacy
system with new ones until the old system
is "strangled" and replaced entirely.
Hina Arora
Microservices
Leader Election Pattern
Designate a leader among instances of a
microservice for tasks like coordination
and decision-making.
