gRPC deadlines and cancellation travel with the RPC via context propagation, letting servers abandon work the moment the caller stops waiting. Here's how to wire it up correctly — and where it silently fails.
Client-side load balancing in gRPC lets clients discover back-ends and distribute traffic without a separate load balancer. Start with round-robin and DNS or Kubernetes discovery, then verify with connection tracing and distribution checks.
Stop copying auth and logging boilerplate into every Moleculer action. This guide builds composable action middleware, wires it into a service, and verifies it with real broker calls.
Learn how New Relic's automatic distributed tracing gives end-to-end visibility across microservices, with a worked example, NRQL query, and tips on managing volume and retention.
Learn how to use Sentry's Distributed Tracing to link requests across microservices using header propagation and sampling strategies to identify latency bottlenecks.
Discover how .NET 8 Minimal APIs let you build lightweight microservices with a single file, built‑in DI, and simple validation. Learn setup, routing, trade‑offs, and how to verify your service.
Learn how to implement a lean Dropwizard health‑check that verifies critical dependencies, exposes a /healthcheck endpoint, and integrates with Kubernetes probes. The article covers design requirements, trust boundaries, operational checks, failure modes, and when to evolve the design.
Use Moleculer’s built‑in action cache to serve repeat reads from memory, reduce latency, and avoid external caching layers. Learn how to configure cache, invalidate via events, and handle the trade‑offs in a microservice environment.
