How do microservices handle data consistency?

Microservices typically sacrifice strong consistency for availability, utilizing eventual consistency and patterns like Saga or Event Sourcing to coordinate state across services.

When should I choose microservices over a monolith?

Choose microservices when your organization needs independent team scaling, specific fault isolation, or separate technology stacks for different business capabilities that have outgrown a single codebase.

What is the Strangler Pattern in microservices?

The Strangler Pattern is a migration strategy where you incrementally replace monolithic functionality with new microservices until the legacy system is eventually retired.

What is the biggest risk of microservices?

The primary risk is operational complexity; without mature DevOps, automated testing, and robust observability, the overhead of managing many services can outweigh the benefits.

API 개발

Guides the design and implementation of distributed systems as loosely coupled, independently deployable services organized around business capabilities.

This skill provides comprehensive guidance for architecting scalable, resilient microservices systems. It covers critical implementation phases including domain decomposition through Bounded Contexts, selecting communication patterns (REST vs. Event-driven), and implementing essential resilience patterns like circuit breakers and the Saga pattern. It is particularly useful for organizations outgrowing monolithic architectures that need to scale development teams and improve deployment frequency while maintaining high system availability.
