Hi all, I'm seeking advice on building a scalable microservices architecture for our new project.

Hey ajith, have you considered using Kubernetes with its container orchestration features? It really helps with scalability.

Yes, we are planning to use Kubernetes. Any tips on best practices while using it?

Consider using an event based architecture with something like Apache Kafka.

Thanks for the suggestion! I think that would fit in well with our use cases.

I would suggest looking into Service Mesh. It reduces complexity around communication between services.

I'll definitely have a look at Service Meshes. Thanks for the advice!

Avoid constantly changing microservices architecture.

Thanks for the tip. Is there a reason behind it? I want to avoid changing architectures for the wrong reasons.

Peter might be referring to the benefits of consistency and avoiding unnecessary complexity or technical debt.

Definitely check out DDD (Domain Driven Design) and CQRS (Command Query Responsibility Segregation). Good luck!

Monitor performance regularly. This helps in assessing scalability and improving architecture.
