Whenever some system like a database goes down which is connected to all the micro services we had to manually check every single one that connected to it.

Oh no. 😭 Why are multiple microservices connected to the same database? One of the main points of microservices is that they're autonomous and problems affecting one shouldn't affect others.

We felt it to be too much to have a separate database container running for each of the micro-service. So we created a database used by that service but the database is in a common container. So couldn't help much on that
