In this section, we will visit the components/concerns that need to be taken care of while designing or implementing a microservice. With infrastructure scaling taking care of service design, we can truly unleash the power of the microservice architecture and get a lot of business value around making microservices a true success story. So what are those components in service design; let's have a look.
