Microservices architecture involves designing and developing loosely-coupled services. Best practices include adopting the Single Responsibility Principle, building teams with clear responsibilities, using the right tools and frameworks, keeping asynchronous communication between microservices, adopting the DevSecOps model, using separate data stores for each microservice, deploying each microservice separately, orchestrating microservices using platforms like Kubernetes, and using an effective monitoring system.

Hey there, thank you for sharing! Following these practices can help teams successfully implement microservices and avoid common pitfalls.

Great content, Thanks for sharing!

Fantastic review, thanks for sharing!
100% agree that adhering to the Single Responsibility Principle is the number one concept, and it leads directly into the second concept of team responsibility - the two are intertwined.
BTW, a great way to ensure you adhere to these principles is by encapsulating your microservices as component - here’s a good article about this: <a href="https://bit.ly/3YYXawL" target="_blank" rel="noopener nofollow">https://bit.ly/3YYXawL</a>

I think an important detail to remember, too, is that “single responsibility” doesn’t have to mean “dumb”. Don’t be afraid to handle logic in the micro-service in order to keep your overall system simple. You can do this while maintaining true RESTful tenets.
