Design scalable systems with microservices architecture. Learn about patterns, challenges, and implementation strategies.

Microservices architecture breaks applications into small, independent services that can be developed, deployed, and scaled independently.

## Key Characteristics

- Single responsibility per service
- Independent deployment
- Decentralized data management
- API-based communication

## Common Patterns

**API Gateway** - Single entry point for all client requests.

**Service Discovery** - Dynamic location of service instances.

**Circuit Breaker** - Prevent cascade failures.

**Event Sourcing** - Store state changes as events.

## Challenges

- Distributed system complexity
- Data consistency across services
- Monitoring and debugging
- Network latency

Microservices offer flexibility and scalability but require mature DevOps practices.
