Design, build, and deploy microservices using Docker containers and Kubernetes orchestration, with patterns for service discovery and scaling.

Microservices Overview

Microservices architecture allows you to build scalable, maintainable applications by breaking them into smaller, independent services.

Containerization with Docker

Each microservice runs in its own Docker container, ensuring consistency across environments and easy deployment.

Kubernetes Orchestration

Kubernetes manages your containers, handling deployment, scaling, networking, and health checks automatically.

Service Mesh

Implement Istio or Linkerd for advanced traffic management, security, and observability between services.

API Gateway Pattern

Use an API gateway like Kong or Ambassador to handle routing, authentication, and rate limiting at the edge.

Monitoring & Logging

Set up centralized logging with ELK stack and monitoring with Prometheus and Grafana.
