Microservices best practices every automation engineer should know

This article outlines microservices best practices, including defining clear service boundaries via domain-driven design and the single responsibility principle, and building resilience into service-to-service calls with circuit breakers, retries with exponential backoff, and bulkheads. It also covers routing traffic through an API gateway and making failures observable with distributed tracing and centralized logging, noting how n8n workflows can orchestrate and monitor service calls.
