8. 💡 Tips for Mastery

  • Start Small: Build a few small microservices projects to understand the basics of service isolation, communication, and deployment.
  • Read and Follow Best Practices: Always follow best practices for distributed systems, especially around error handling, resilience, and communication.
  • Work on Open Source Projects: Many open-source projects use microservices architecture, giving you the opportunity to see them in real-world applications.
  • Focus on Monitoring and Observability: Microservices can become complex quickly, so mastering tools like Prometheus, Grafana, and Jaeger for monitoring is essential.
