Designing Microservice Architectures
summary
Argues that you design around messages not services and shows concrete patterns — synchronous vs asynchronous, pub/sub, scatter‑gather — with hexagon diagrams and a message-first design. Builds a Node.js demo search engine for npm modules using ElasticSearch, D3 visualization and visual syntax for semantic flows, samples live traffic with sampled UDP monitoring, cites environments with over 100 services, and demonstrates the demo running (code on github.com/nodes).
