Learn why splitting a monolith into multiple services doesn't necessarily mean you're doing microservices and how to achieve true microservices architecture
Action Steps
- Identify tightly coupled services using dependency analysis tools
- Apply the Single Responsibility Principle to each service to reduce coupling
- Implement API gateways to manage service communication and reduce direct service-to-service calls
- Use containerization and orchestration tools to enable service scalability and isolation
- Refactor services to follow Domain-Driven Design principles and increase autonomy
