Microservices Boundaries

Tags: [#Microservices, #SoftwareArchitecture, #APIs]

Microservices boundaries refer to the logical separation between different microservices in an application. These boundaries help to encapsulate the internal logic, data, and state of each service, ensuring that each operates as an independent unit. Deciding the right boundaries is crucial for maintainability, scalability, and ease of deployment. Poorly defined boundaries can lead to tight coupling between services, making changes difficult and error-prone. The best practices often include domain-driven design to identify logical separations, and utilizing APIs for communication across these boundaries.
