1.
Scenario: Imagine you are tasked with designing a robust system for a large e-
commerce platform. The platform needs to handle various functionalities such as
user authentication, product catalog management, order processing, payment
handling, and shipping logistics. Each of these functionalities can be developed and
deployed independently as microservices to ensure scalability, flexibility, and ease
of maintenance.
Question: Considering the scenario described above, which deployment pattern of
microservices would be most suitable? Please identify the appropriate design pattern
and explain why you chose it in relation to the requirements of the e-commerce
platform.
2. Scenario: Imagine you are part of a development team tasked with building a
distributed system for a ride-sharing application. The system consists of multiple
microservices responsible for handling various functionalities such as user
authentication, driver allocation, ride tracking, payment processing, and
notifications. As the application grows, it becomes essential to enable seamless
communication between these microservices while ensuring scalability, fault
tolerance, and ease of maintenance.
Question: Given the scenario described above, which design pattern related to
service discovery would you recommend for facilitating communication between
microservices? Please identify the appropriate pattern and provide reasoning for
your choice based on the requirements of the ride-sharing application.
