Abstract
Microservices Architecture: Breaking down a monolithic application into smaller, independent services that communicate over a network.API Gateways: Acting as a single entry point for all client requests, routing them to the appropriate microservice.Message Brokers: Using tools like RabbitMQ or Redis to facilitate asynchronous communication between services.Service Discovery: Allowing services to find and communicate with each other dynamically as the network topology changes.

ObservabilityIn a distributed system, debugging becomes difficult. You need to understand distributed tracing, centralized logging (ELK stack), and monitoring tools like Prometheus and Grafana. | RabbitMQ (amqplib)
Observability: Teaches how to build dashboards and track errors across a distributed setting using the ELK stack, Graphite, Grafana, and Zipkin for request tracing.

| Service Discovery | How services find each other in a dynamic network. | Consul, etcd, Zookeeper |
| Load Balancing | Distributing requests across multiple instances. | nginx, http-proxy, pm2 (cluster mode) |
| Message Queues | Async communication for decoupling services. | RabbitMQ (amqplib), Redis (bull), Kafka |
| Distributed Tracing | Following a request across service boundaries. | Jaeger, Zipkin, OpenTelemetry |
| Consensus Algorithms | Keeping data consistent across nodes. | Raft (implementations in Node) |
