Microservices Architecture

This chapter explores microservices architecture, highlighting its key characteristics, such as autonomy and specialization, and presenting its benefits and challenges.

The chapter transitions the online auction client-server project into a microservices architecture, using it as a case study. It discusses strategies for identifying the boundaries of the domains through the bounded contexts of the domain-driven design (DDD), refactoring, and selecting the appropriate databases based on the CAP theorem.

Additionally, this chapter discusses implementing clean architecture within a microservices context. The chapter offers detailed guidance on designing and implementing microservices, including synchronous communication using the RestClient and monitoring and management with Spring Boot Actuator.

The chapter ends with practical steps for containerizing microservices using Docker and Docker Compose and emphasizes the benefits of containerization for development and deployment.

This chapter will cover the following topics:

Introducing microservices architecture
Transitioning the application to microservices
Synchronous communication
Monitoring and managing the microservices
Adding our microservices into containers

By the end of this chapter, you will have a strong understanding of microservices architecture and how to apply the clean architecture guidelines and have gained practical guidance on transitioning a project to microservices. This knowledge will empower you to develop resilient, adaptable, and easily maintainable applications based on microservices.
