When to Use Microservices
Microservices aren’t always the answer. I help you decide:
Consider microservices when:
- Multiple teams need independent deployment
- Different services have different scaling needs
- Parts of the system need different tech stacks
- You’re hitting development velocity limits
Stick with monolith when:
- Small team (< 5 developers)
- Still finding product-market fit
- Simple, well-understood domain
- Operational complexity is a concern
My Microservices Principles
- Single Responsibility: Each service owns one business capability
- Data Ownership: Services own their data, share through APIs
- API First: Design contracts before implementation
- Failure Tolerance: Design for partial failure scenarios
- Observability: Logging, tracing, metrics from day one
- Automation: CI/CD, infrastructure as code

Microservices Architecture Patterns
| |
Communication Patterns I Implement
| Pattern | Use Case | Example |
|---|---|---|
| Sync REST | Simple request/response | User authentication |
| Async Events | Loose coupling, eventual consistency | Order placed β Notify inventory |
| gRPC | High-performance internal calls | Service-to-service in same cluster |
| Saga | Distributed transactions | Multi-service checkout flow |
| CQRS | Read/write separation | Search service + write service |
Technology Stack for Microservices

Observability Stack
For microservices to be manageable, observability is essential:
- Logging: Structured logs with correlation IDs (ELK, Loki)
- Tracing: Distributed request tracing (Jaeger, OpenTelemetry)
- Metrics: Service health and business KPIs (Prometheus, Grafana)
- Alerting: Proactive issue detection (PagerDuty, Opsgenie)

AI Platform Services
@ Anaqua (RightHub)Integrate AI capabilities across a monolithic IP management platform.
Designed AI as separate microservices with clear API contracts, allowing independent scaling and deployment while integrating with existing systems.
AI services could evolve independently, enabling rapid feature development.
Real-Time Dispatch System
@ OPERR TechnologiesBuild system handling real-time dispatch, GPS tracking, billing, and compliance.
Event-driven microservices with Kafka for real-time events, separate services for dispatch, tracking, billing, and reporting.
First licensed NYC dispatch provider, handling thousands of daily operations.
IoT Data Platform
@ SpiioProcess data from 1,000+ sensors with different ingestion, processing, and serving requirements.
Microservices for ingestion (high throughput), processing (compute-intensive), and serving (low latency) with appropriate scaling for each.
10x traffic growth without architecture changes.
