When you design a microservice system, there are some key topics and tools you should be familiar with. Designing a successful microservice system differs from developing a successful monolithic application in several key ways, and the better understanding you have of these differences the better you’ll be able to ensure that your environment is reliable, secure, and consistent. In this article, we’ll discuss eight topics that NodeJS microservice developers should be familiar with.

When it comes to Node.js design patterns, microservices are useful patterns that can improve the flexibility and reliability of applications. However, microservice architectures must be carefully designed, as they can create roadblocks and inefficiencies that reduce team velocity.
