Learn the key principles for building scalable microservices applications.
Microservices architecture enables teams to build scalable and maintainable applications by splitting systems into independent services.
## Defining Clear Service Boundaries
Each service should own a single business capability and have its own data store to avoid tight coupling.
## Communication Between Services
Use lightweight protocols such as HTTP or messaging systems to keep communication reliable and observable.
## Deployment and Scaling
Microservices allow individual services to scale independently, improving resilience and resource efficiency.
## Common Pitfalls
Overengineering, excessive network calls, and poor monitoring can quickly add complexity if not handled carefully.
