Map bounded contexts to service boundaries for optimal architecture

Centralize request routing, authentication, and rate limiting using an API gateway.

Services making excessive network calls for operations that could be done locally or batched.

Separate read and write models to optimize for different access patterns and enable flexible data transformation.

Master modern data architecture patterns, storage technologies, and scalable persistence strategies

Scale data storage horizontally by distributing data across multiple databases and replicas.

Isolate service data with dedicated databases to maintain independence and prevent tight coupling.

Hands-on techniques and patterns to apply DDD in real systems

Microservices independent in deployment but tightly coupled in design.

Services that call each other synchronously in sequence, creating tight coupling and monolith behavior.

Master distributed systems architecture, communication patterns, and resilience strategies for building scalable, fault-tolerant systems.

Store the complete history of changes as immutable events rather than storing only the current state.

Build high-performance binary RPC systems with HTTP/2 streaming

TL;DR

Services too small to be useful, requiring many inter-service calls and creating excessive complexity.

Ensure reliable event publishing and delivery with outbox, inbox, and CDC patterns.

Every inter-service communication is synchronous, creating blocking dependencies and reducing resilience.

Evolve data schemas safely without breaking clients as systems change over time.

Manage service-to-service communication using a service mesh.

Multiple services accessing one shared database, creating tight coupling.

Multiple services accessing the same database directly, creating coupling and preventing independence.

Break monoliths into services aligned with bounded contexts

Coordinate distributed transactions across services using choreography and orchestration patterns.
