Get started with microservices architecture

This post introduces how to start building with microservices architecture by identifying decomposable aspects of the application, determining key metrics to monitor (CPU, memory, API response time, error rate), and outlining best practices for deployment and management. Best practices include infrastructure automation for managing growing numbers of microservices and implementing consumer-driven contract tests to ensure API version compatibility. It also emphasizes the importance of continuous monitoring of key metrics and the alignment of microservices architecture with DevOps principles for faster feedback loops and reduced time to market.
