Microservices
This project is a distributed systems design framework and architecture guide. It provides technical resources for designing, deploying, and coordinating independent network services.
The framework establishes a structured methodology for migrating monolithic applications into decentralized services by separating frontend and backend concerns. It serves as a reference for event-driven architecture, focusing on maintaining data consistency across network boundaries using event sourcing and local transaction records.
The project covers a broad range of capabilities including distributed service communication, service discovery configuration, and the implementation of API gateways. It also addresses deployment strategies for high availability and the use of asynchronous message brokering to decouple services.
