I just published a full walkthrough on building an event-driven microservices architecture using NestJS, Kafka, and Redis — complete with Docker Compose, structured logging, health checks, metrics, and a clean service-to-service communication flow.
What’s inside:
- API Gateway with Kafka producers + Redis caching
- Orders, Payments, and Notifications services
- Kafka consumers for order.created, order.verified, and payment.completed
- Realistic event-driven workflow
- Observability using Terminus + Prometheus
- Fully Dockerized setup
If you're exploring microservices or improving your NestJS skills, this guide has everything you need.

Microservice Architecture is pretty difficult one, especially transactions. Massive respect!
