Key Concepts
- Service decomposition
- API-first design
- Independent deployment
- Distributed data management
- Service discovery
Common Use Cases

- Polyglot environments
- High-scalability requirements
- Continuous deployment
Best Practices
- Design around bounded contexts
- Implement proper API versioning
- Use asynchronous communication
- Implement circuit breakers
- Plan for distributed tracing
