Hello everyone

Hello, everyone

I am currently working on growing a Node.js application and considering moving from a monolithic to a micro service architecture. As the user base and data load continue to expand, I have discovered performance bottlenecks and difficulties in maintaining various portions of the app.

• What best practices and critical considerations would you recommend for individuals who have used micro services to scale Node.js applications?
• What are some useful tools or frameworks for managing and discovering micro services?
• Is REST and gRPC the superior option for inter-service communications?
• How do you keep data consistent across many services while maintaining performance?
• What are the best ways for deploying and managing many micro services in production?

I have done some research and looked into tools like Docker and Kubernetes for containerization and orchestration, but I would like to learn how others have successfully deployed these solutions. Any advise, from your own experience are greatly appreciated

Thanks in advance
