Designing robust, secure, and maintainable distributed systems goes far beyond simply splitting functionality across services. It requires architectural patterns that help us migrate with purpose, manage operational complexity, and ensure system evolution without compromising stability.

If you’re a regular reader of this blog, you’ll know we’ve published several posts discussing various microservice architecture patterns. Today, we’re bringing together the latest installments, where we’ve taken a deeper dive into how to migrate from monoliths to microservices, implement externalized configuration, and apply Consumer-Driven Contract Testing, essential to understanding the most common challenges and how to tackle them with practical examples and real tools 👇:

Architecture Patterns: from Monolith to Microservices

Migrating a monolith to microservices without a strategy is chaos. In this post, we look at 3 key patterns to do it right: the Strangler Pattern, the Anti-Corruption Layer, and decomposition by domain. We explain what each offers and how to apply them.

Architecture Patterns in Microservices: Externalized Configuration

A secure, professional microservices architecture requires proper configuration management. Externalization is key to efficient deployments and robust governance. In this post, we explain its benefits and how to implement it with practical examples.

Architecture Patterns in Microservices: Consumer-Driven Contract Testing

How can we prevent unexpected breakages in production? With Consumer-Driven Contract Testing (CDCT), it’s possible. It allows consumers to define their API expectations and providers to validate them automatically in the pipeline. In this post, we show you how to implement it step by step.

Since 2006, I’ve been dedicated to this profession (at Paradigma Digital since 2009). My career has been shaped more by people than by projects. With hard work and dedication, anything can be achieved. Always connected to technology, I love creating PoCs for new trends and staying up-to-date. I currently work at Paradigma as a Software Architect.
