    The Complete Microservices Guide

    Microservices have emerged as a popular architectural approach for designing and building software systems for several compelling reasons and advantages. It is a design approach that involves dividing applications into multiple distinct and independent services called "microservices" Microservices are naturally distributed services as each service is isolated from the others and runs in its own instance.

    Use Nginx as an API Gateway

    Use Nginx as an API Gateway to manage and direct incoming requests to three different microservices. Nginx is software that works as a reverse proxy and can be used as a Load balancer to distribute requests to different servers. The primary role of the API gateway is to act as an intermediary between clients (e.g.

    What Are Microservices Design Patterns?

    Microservice architecture is an organizational approach to software development where the programmer has to use a collection of small autonomous services. As autonomous services, they are able to complete certain functions independently from other services with which it interacts. Microservices use two types of load-balancing architecture, and these are server-side load balancing.

    Microservices design

    The application is deployed in Amazon ECS as a single service that’s scalable and highly available. As the app has grown, we’ve noticed that content delivery becomes a bottleneck during normal operations. To deal with these issues, we decided to split the app into three microservices: Course Catalog, Content Delivery and Progress Tracking.

    Backends for Frontends Pattern

    Backend for Frontend pattern allows frontend clients to load UI-ready data projections and to refresh the UI with event-driven notifications. The BFF pattern has been adopted by companies like Netflix, where their Android team seamlessly swapped the API backend of the Netflix Android app, enabling them to work with their endpoint.

    What is an API Gateway and Why is it Useful?

    An API gateway is a fully managed service that simplifies the process of creating, publishing, maintaining, monitoring, and securing APIs. It acts as a middleman between clients and backend services, handling request validation, authorization, rate limiting, request routing, and request/response transformation. It is particularly useful in microservice architectures.

    Designing Event-Driven Architecture

    Serverless represents abstracting your computing infrastructure to the point that you have no responsibilities for the servers on which your code runs. The idea behind Event-Driven Architectures is use of events to communicate between decoupled services, use events to trigger or invoke the service.
