Microservices - Migration from Monolith

You have a microservice handling customer orders and inventory updates. Inventory updates require high throughput and low latency, but order processing is complex and slow. How should you redesign service boundaries?

AKeep both functions in one service for easier coordination

BUse a shared database to synchronize both functions

CMerge inventory updates into a third service

DSeparate inventory updates and order processing into different services

Step-by-Step Solution

Solution:

Step 1: Analyze differing requirements
Inventory updates need speed; order processing is complex and slower.
Step 2: Apply separation for scalability
Separating services allows independent scaling and optimization for each function.
Final Answer:
Separate inventory updates and order processing into different services -> Option D
Quick Check:
Separate by performance needs = B [OK]

Quick Trick: Split services by differing performance needs [OK]

Common Mistakes:

Keeping slow and fast functions together
Using shared database for sync
Adding unnecessary third service
