Developing Node.js Microservices
Build independent Node.js services that communicate with each other, focusing on domain-driven design.
Node.js Microservices Intro
Welcome to building Node.js microservices! We'll explore how to create small, independent services that work together.
A microservice is an architectural style where an application is built as a collection of small, autonomous services, each running in its own process and communicating with lightweight mechanisms, often an HTTP API.
Core Microservice Principles
Microservices follow key principles:
- Independent Deployment: Each service can be deployed independently.
- Loose Coupling: Services are not tightly dependent on each other.
- Single Responsibility: Each service focuses on a specific business capability (a 'domain').
- Technology Diversity: Different services can use different technologies (though we'll stick to Node.js here).
