16 — Data Patterns (Microservice)

Patterns

A book-shaped table of contents for reusable engineering patterns spanning object-oriented design, enterprise architecture, distributed systems, messaging, APIs, cloud infrastructure, observability, security, concurrency, AI/agentic systems, and organizational design — grounded in production experience at scale.

11 — Reliability Patterns (Microservice Building Blocks)

Timeout, Rate Limiter, Fallback, and Adaptive Concurrency — the remaining resilience building blocks beyond Circuit Breaker, Retry, Bulkhead, and Hedged Requests, which already have their own chapters in this book.

06 — Service Communication

Request-Response, Async Messaging, Event Streaming, Pub/Sub, and RPC/gRPC — the communication styles a service boundary can choose between, beyond the Fan-Out/Fan-In and Backpressure patterns already covered in this book.

03 — Service Decomposition

Decomposing by business capability, domain, or bounded context, and building self-contained systems — the remaining decomposition axes beyond the Monolith-vs-Strangler-Fig choice already covered in this book.
