Architecture Patterns
Backend-for-Frontend (BFF)
Create dedicated backend services for each frontend to improve performance and maintainability. The BFF pattern allows for backend services tailored to each platform's unique needs, enhancing user experience and simplifying development.
Circuit Breaker
Prevent cascading failures in distributed systems by stopping requests to failing services. The Circuit Breaker pattern helps maintain system stability by detecting failures and preventing further requests to the affected service until it recovers.
Health Monitoring
Monitor the health and performance of your services to ensure they are functioning correctly. Health Monitoring involves regularly checking the status of services and alerting when issues are detected, ensuring high availability and reliability.
Rate Limiting
Control the rate of requests to your services to prevent overloading and ensure fair usage. Rate Limiting helps manage traffic by setting limits on the number of requests a client can make, protecting services from being overwhelmed.
Retry
Automatically retry failed requests to improve resilience and reliability. The Retry pattern ensures that transient failures are handled gracefully by retrying failed operations, increasing the chances of success.
Strangler Fig
Gradually replace legacy systems with new ones by incrementally migrating functionality. The Strangler Fig pattern allows for a smooth transition from old to new systems by slowly phasing out the legacy code and replacing it with new implementations.
Time limiting
Set time limits on operations to prevent long-running tasks from blocking resources. Time Limiting ensures that operations complete within a specified timeframe, improving system responsiveness and preventing resource exhaustion.
