SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

Guidelines for building production-grade microservices using FastAPI/Python and Go, covering serverless patterns, clean architecture, observability, and resilience.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Stateless design with external storage and caches (Redis), API gateway patterns (NGINX/Traefik/Kong), and resilience via circuit breakers and retries.
  • FastAPI/Python microservices with asynchronous processing, observability, and security; Go backend following Clean Architecture with domain-driven design and dependency injection.
  • Use Case: Architect, implement, and operate distributed microservices with scalable deployment and robust monitoring across environments.

Quick Start

Define a new microservice using a clean architecture blueprint and implement a minimal FastAPI service alongside a Go backend.

FAQPage Schema
How do I design resilient microservices with circuit breakers and retries?

Production-grade microservices require stateless design with external storage and Redis caches, API gateway patterns using NGINX, Traefik, or Kong, and resilience mechanisms like circuit breakers to handle distributed system failures.

What is the best way to structure a Go backend using clean architecture?

Structure a Go backend using clean architecture by applying domain-driven design and dependency injection. This separates business logic from infrastructure, enabling testable, maintainable microservices with clear boundary definitions.

How do I add observability and tracing to FastAPI Python microservices?

Add observability and tracing to FastAPI Python microservices by instrumenting asynchronous processing pipelines. This enables robust monitoring and distributed tracing across serverless patterns and environments.

Can I use serverless patterns with FastAPI and Go for distributed systems?

Yes, you can use serverless patterns with FastAPI and Go for distributed systems. The architecture supports scalable deployment and robust monitoring across environments using stateless services and API gateways.

Do I need an API gateway like Kong or Traefik for microservices?

You need an API gateway like Kong, Traefik, or NGINX for microservices to manage routing, security, and traffic. Gateways complement stateless services and circuit breakers to ensure scalable, resilient distributed system operations.
