Summary
In this chapter, you explored the critical considerations and strategies for transitioning from a monolithic solution to a microservices architecture. You learned that architectural decisions require careful alignment between technical and business needs, balancing domain concerns with technical constraints to evolve systems effectively and without unnecessary complexity.
The transition begins with identifying appropriate bounded contexts and ensuring clear boundaries. Initial communication between these contexts can be handled with simpler patterns such as the mediator, which can later be replaced with event-driven communication. This prepares the monolith for eventual decomposition into independent microservices aligned with specific bounded contexts.
In this chapter, you should have learned the following:
- How to recognize and utilize bounded contexts as a foundational element for microservices architecture
- How to adopt a step-by-step approach to...
