Exploring microservices architecture
At its heart, microservices emphasize building distributed systems composed of small, independently deployable components, each responsible for a specific functionality. While this architectural style has reshaped how we think about scalability, agility, and maintainability, its alignment with the core principles of DDD is where its true potential lies.
One of the key advantages of microservices is their alignment with business capabilities. By structuring services around specific domains, teams can work more independently, reducing bottlenecks and enabling faster iteration. This approach dovetails naturally with DDD principles, which emphasize organizing software around the core domains and subdomains of a business.
Microservices can offer the following:
- Improved scalability: Every single service can scale independently as per its demand
- Enhanced resilience: When one service fails, it will not necessarily bring down the...
