  1. Decompose the Application: Identify distinct business domains and split functionality into small, loosely coupled services.

  2. Service Communication:

    • Use APIs (REST or GraphQL) for synchronous communication
    • Use messaging systems (e.g., RabbitMQ, Kafka) for asynchronous communication
  3. Independent Data Stores: Each service manages its own database to ensure independence.

  4. Service Discovery: Use a registry like Consul or Eureka to manage service locations dynamically.

  5. Deployment:

    • Containerize services with Docker
    • Orchestrate using Kubernetes
  6. Monitoring: Use tools like Prometheus, Grafana, or ELK Stack for observability and debugging.
