Microservices Patterns

Design distributed systems with proper service boundaries, communication patterns, and resilience.

Core Principles

Single Responsibility: Each service owns one business capability
Data Autonomy: Each service owns its data, no shared databases
Loose Coupling: Services communicate through well-defined contracts
Failure Isolation: One service failure shouldn't cascade
Independent Deployment: Services deploy independently

Quick Reference

Pattern	Purpose	When to Use
API Gateway	Single entry point	Multiple clients, aggregation needed
Circuit Breaker	Prevent cascade failures	Remote service calls
Saga	Distributed transactions	Multi-service business process
Event Sourcing	Audit trail, replay	Complex state transitions
CQRS	Read/write optimization	High-read or complex queries

Service Decomposition

By Business Capability:

├── OrderService       # Order lifecycle
├── PaymentService     # Payment processing
├── InventoryService   # Stock management
├── ShippingService    # Delivery tracking
└── NotificationService # Alerts and emails

By Bounded Context (DDD):

Identify ubiquitous language per context
Define context boundaries
Map relationships between contexts

Communication Patterns

Style	When to Use	Examples
Synchronous (REST/gRPC)	Real-time response needed	User queries, validation
Async Events (Kafka)	Fire-and-forget, broadcast	Order placed, payment received
Async Request-Reply	Long operations	Report generation, batch processing

Critical Don'ts

Never share databases between services
Don't create distributed monoliths (tightly coupled services)
Avoid synchronous chains (A→B→C→D)
Don't skip compensating transactions in sagas
Don't adopt microservices before team is ready
