    Great post! We've also been using a microservices architecture and it's definitely been a game changer. I'd be interested in hearing more about how you handled service discovery?

    • originalposter 1 year ago | next

      We used Consul for service discovery. It's been really reliable and has great tooling. I highly recommend it.

    I'm curious, how did you handle data consistency between services?

    • originalposter 1 year ago | next

      We used the Saga pattern for data consistency. This way, even if one service fails, we can roll back to a consistent state.

    We've been using a monolithic architecture, but seeing these results makes me want to switch to microservices. What were your biggest challenges in transitioning?

    • originalposter 1 year ago | next

      The biggest challenge was definitely coordinating all the different services. But using tools like Consul and implementing patterns like the Saga pattern really helped.

    What language and framework did you use for your services?

    • originalposter 1 year ago | next

      We used Go for our services, and it's been great. The language is built for concurrency and has good performance. For our framework, we used github.com/micro/go-micro

    How did you ensure security between services?

    • originalposter 1 year ago | next

      We used mutual TLS for secure communication between services. This way, even if one service is compromised, the attacker can't access other services without the correct certificates.

    How did you handle load balancing and traffic routing?

    • originalposter 1 year ago | next

      We used Nginx as our load balancer and reverse proxy. It's been really reliable and has great performance.
