Key Microservices Design Patterns

Microservices architecture introduces complexity. Design patterns help solve recurring problems in scalability, resilience, and communication.

1. API Gateway 💡

Acts as a single entry point for all clients, routing requests to appropriate services.

2. Circuit Breaker ⚠️

Prevents cascading failures by stopping requests to failing services and providing fallback responses.

3. Saga Pattern 💡

Manages distributed transactions by breaking them into local transactions with compensating actions.

4. Event Sourcing 💡

Stores state changes as a sequence of events to rebuild the current state.

5. CQRS (Command Query Responsibility Segregation) ✅

Separates read and write operations to improve performance and scalability.

Conclusion

Using these microservices design patterns can make your architecture more resilient, maintainable, and scalable.

🔄 Distributed Transactions Deep Dive

Welcome back to The Code Hut Distributed Systems series! In this post, we’ll dive deeper into distributed transactions, advanced Saga patterns, and techniques to maintain consistency across microservices. Why Distributed Transactions Are Tricky In a distributed system, each service typically manages its own database. Coordinating multiple services to commit or roll back changes atomically is challenging because: Network failures can occur Partial failures can leave inconsistent state Global locking is expensive and reduces availability 1. Saga Pattern Deep Dive The Saga pattern breaks a transaction into a series of smaller, independent steps with compensating actions if something fails. Choreography: Services emit events that trigger the next step. Orchestration: A central coordinator tells each service what action to take next. 2. Example: Orchestrated Saga in Java // Orchestrator triggers a series of service calls public class OrderSagaOrche...
