Designing robust microservices requires choosing the right patterns for performance, resilience, and scalability. Here are 9 essential patterns every architect should know.
1. Database Per Service Pattern
Each microservice manages its own database, ensuring loose coupling and full data ownership.
2. Event Sourcing Pattern
Stores every change as an event rather than the latest state. Great for audit logs and debugging.
3. API Gateway Pattern
Acts as a single access point that routes requests to microservices, handling concerns like auth and rate limiting.
4. Saga Pattern
Coordinates distributed transactions using a series of steps and compensating actions to handle failures.
5. BFF (Backend for Frontend) Pattern
Creates different backends for web and mobile, improving performance and customizing data handling per client.

The uv build backend is now stable, and considered ready for production use.
An alternative to setuptools, hatchling, etc. for pure Python projects, with a focus on good defaults, user-friendly error messages, and performance.
When used with uv, it's 10-35x faster.
