What is a monolithic system?
—A monolithic system is a software architecture where all functionality is tightly coupled and deployed as a single unit.
Why would I want to transition from a monolith to microservices?
—Transitioning to microservices can provide benefits such as increased scalability, improved fault isolation, and faster time-to-market for new features.
What are some challenges of transitioning to microservices?
—Challenges include breaking apart the monolith into smaller services, managing data consistency, and coordinating changes across services.
What patterns can I use to decompose a monolith into microservices?
—Some patterns include the strangler pattern, bounded context pattern, and the anti-corruption layer pattern.
How do microservices communicate with each other?
—Microservices can communicate using synchronous protocols like HTTP/REST or asynchronous messaging systems like Kafka or RabbitMQ.
