There are no easy decisions in software architecture. Instead, there are many hard parts: difficult problems or issues with no best practices that force you to choose among various compromises to succeed. With this book, you'll learn how to think critically about the trade-offs involved with distributed architectures. You'll examine everything from how to determine service granularity, manage workflows and orchestration, manage and decouple contracts, and manage distributed transactions to how to optimize operational characteristics, such as scalability, elasticity, and performance.
