Micro-Service Tutorials

Microservices architecture has transformed the way software is built, enabling applications to be scalable, maintainable, and deployable independently . However, breaking an application into multiple independent services introduces a challenge: how do services find and communicate with each other efficiently? This is where service registry and discovery come into play. What is Service Discovery? In a microservices ecosystem, services are dynamic—they can be scaled up or down , moved across different servers, or replaced during updates. Hardcoding service addresses is not practical. Service discovery is the mechanism that allows services to dynamically locate and communicate with each other without knowing their physical locations beforehand. Key Components Service Registry A central database or directory that maintains a list of all available services and their instances along with network locations (IP addresses, ports).
