Microservices Design Pattern

Curious about how microservices stay efficient and resilient?

Understanding design patterns is key. Here’s a quick overview:

1. Database Per Service Pattern: Each microservice has its own database, ensuring data isolation and easy scalability for distinct components.

2. API Gateway Pattern: Acts as a single entry point, managing requests to multiple microservices and simplifying client-side communication.

3. BFF Pattern: Backend for Frontend ensures that each client interface gets optimized API interactions tailored for its needs.

4. CQRS Pattern: Separates command and query responsibilities, enhancing performance and scalability by handling reads and writes independently.

5. Event Sourcing Pattern: Stores all changes as a sequence of events, making state reconstruction and auditing straightforward.

6. Saga Pattern: Manages complex, multi-step transactions across microservices, ensuring data consistency through coordinated workflows.

7. Sidecar Pattern: Runs additional services alongside primary microservices for tasks like logging or monitoring, enhancing modularity.

8. Circuit Breaker Pattern: Prevents system failures by stopping requests to a failing service, ensuring the overall system remains stable.
