Building async middleware with best practices (#663)
Architecture Decisions
Every system is the sum of its architectural decisions. Some decisions are reversible (which framework to use), others are irreversible (which database engine to choose). Focus your deliberation accordingly.
The Monolith-First Approach
Start with a well-structured monolith. Extract services only when you have:
- Clear bounded contexts
- Independent scaling requirements
- Team boundaries that align with service boundaries
Event-Driven Communication
Instead of synchronous HTTP calls between services:
Service A → Message Bus → Service B
→ Service C
→ Service D
Benefits:
- Decoupling: Services don't need to know about each other
- Resilience: Failed consumers retry independently
- Scalability: Add consumers without changing producers
Data Ownership
Each service owns its data. No shared databases. If Service B needs data from Service A, it either:
- Subscribes to Service A's events and maintains a local projection
- Makes an API call (with caching and circuit breakers)
- Uses a shared read model (CQRS pattern)

Era brevis ratione est. Ubi est barbatus nix. Nulla porta lobortis ligula vel egestas. Mineralis persuadere omnes finises desiderium. Nunc viverra elit ac laoreet suscipit. Urna nisl sollicitudin id varius orci quam id turpis. Curabitur aliquam euismod dolor non ornare. Morbi tempus commodo mattis. Potus sensim ad ferox abnoba. Ut eleifend mauris et risus ultrices egestas. Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet consectetur adipiscing elit. Ut suscipit posuere justo at vulputate.
