As a developer working with Node.js and Express, I’ve been diving into cloud-native architectures to build scalable and resilient systems. One concept that stood out is microservices.
Microservices allow you to break your application into independent services that can be:
- Deployed individually
- Scaled independently
- Managed with better fault isolation
- Updated without affecting the whole system
While building my projects, I realized how much easier Azure makes this. Microsoft provides a clear guide to designing microservices on Azure, which explains patterns like API Gateway, service discovery, and container orchestration.
Check it out here:
👉 Microsoft Azure Microservices Guide
Key takeaways for developers:
- Start small — build one service, then scale
- Use Azure container services for orchestration
- Implement monitoring early to catch failures
- Automate deployments for faster iteration
I’d love to hear from other developers: how are you structuring your apps? Are you using microservices, monoliths, or something in between? Let’s discuss in the comments!
