In my previous article, I wrote about my journey towards a just-in-time architectural style that enabled me to split up a monolith into microservices without refactoring. The key solution I found was a combination of automated API creation and a flexible segmentation strategy. This has led to t...

If any of you have been outside recently, you might have come across streams of salt water, particularly if you live near Silicon Valley. Scientists have finally found the cause of this. Those salty streams and puddles you have been wading through are the tears of the Microservices bros...

In the middle of the last decade, as I was elbow-deep in code, tinkering with concepts like service discovery, a buzzword began to echo through the halls of tech companies worldwide — “microservices”. I was there at the dawn, championing the concept, speaking at conferences, and gu...

Andrew Hunt and David Thomas’ “The Pragmatic Programmer: From Journeyman to Master” is by far one of the most popular books among software developers, yet I wonder just how many software engineers actually read the thing. While that’s certainly not the book that goes into the...

The microservice architecture has reigned for many years. In its era, we’ve experienced the good, the bad, and the ugly. In this article, we’ll look at the lessons learned and explore new developments in the field of building future-proof applications. This won’t be a history le...

Microservices architecture has become the new norm for large-scale applications. Because it has more advantages compared to traditional monolithic architecture. However, microservices also come with several challenges. One such challenge is preventing cascading failures. For example, network or serv...

Microservices Revolution: From Monoliths to Scalability Hello, developers! Today, we’re shining a spotlight on microservices — an architectural paradigm that’s revolutionizing how we build applications. Join us as we explore practical use cases, in-depth implementations, and han...

Back in the day, I remember my fingers furiously typing away, wrestling with a massive, sprawling codebase. It was the era of the monoliths, when code, much like castles of old, was built stone by stone into a towering entity of impressive complexity. Fast forward a few years, and the buzzword on...

Microservices design patterns have become increasingly popular due to their ability to improve software agility, scalability, resilience, and maintainability. Microservices design patterns are a set of principles and best practices used to develop and maintain software systems that ar...

The Microservices Architecture is an evolved pattern that has fundamentally changed the way server-side code is developed and managed. This architectural pattern involves the design and development of the application as a collection of loosely-coupled services that interact over well-defin...

Welcome to the era of microservices! In today’s tech landscape, where scalability, flexibility, and speed are top priorities, microservices have emerged as a game-changer. By breaking monolithic applications into smaller, independent services, microservices architecture enables agile developme...

A pattern is a way to design an optimized structure for microservices. There are many ways we can design and build microservices. Here is a list of key design patterns used for decomposition, integration, data management, observability, and other misc. cross cutting concerns. Decomposition Dec...

A Comprehensive Guide to Deploying Scalable and Highly Available Microservices with Amazon EKS, Terraform, Ansible, AWS Lambda, and Amazon API Gateway As a seasoned IT professional, you understand the importance of deploying a resilient and scalable microservices architecture. In this comprehensi...

In our previous discourse on the topic of microservices, we illuminated the treacherous pitfalls to steer clear of. Today, let’s venture further into the brighter and more technical realm — how to do it right. Much of the magic in microservices comes from the tools you equip yoursel...

Having dissected the nuances of Concurrency and Disposability (and the previous 7 factors), we arrive at a topic that’s not just a cornerstone but a catalyst in the modern software landscape — Dev/Prod Parity. This principle serves as the genetic code for a pleth...

Welcome, tech enthusiasts and curious souls, to a thrilling expedition through the intricacies of microservices! Today, we embark on an adventure that will demystify the concept of microservices, revealing the untapped potential lying within seamless integration. Join us on this captivating journey ...

When I first joined Taxfix in September 2020, our product-facing engineering teams had already identified domain separation as one of the main challenges to scale the existing architecture. Today, our microservices capture almost 15 diverse business domains and — based on our interna...
