Why use this template?

A proven starting point for distributed systems.

Service Independence

Each service has its own database and can be deployed, scaled, and updated independently.

Message Queue Decoupling

Async communication via message queue prevents cascading failures between services.

API Gateway Routing

Single entry point with auth, rate limiting, and intelligent routing to backend services.

Service Mesh Observability

Structured mesh enables distributed tracing, circuit breaking, and load balancing.

Frequently asked questions

What is a microservice architecture template?

It is a pre-built diagram showing how independent services communicate through an API gateway and message queue, each owning its database. It gives you a proven starting point for designing distributed systems.

How many services should I start with?

Start small — 3 to 5 services around core domain boundaries. You can use Cybewave Studio AI to add services incrementally as your system grows.

Can I export this as a project scaffold?

Yes. Cybewave Studio exports to a ZIP with per-service folders, Dockerfiles, docker-compose, and API stubs so you can start coding immediately.
