ESSENTIALS - Essentials from a Real-World Microservices Journey
summary
Real production microservices at iBOOD.com use a pragmatic, hexagonal-inspired layout (domain, repositories, use cases, adapters) implemented in TypeScript, Node.js, MongoDB with services owning their data and snapshotting orders to avoid cross-db coupling. A small team of 13 developers maintains ~150 repos, deploys 40–50 times per day, runs ~30-minute pipelines with Sonar, 80% code‑coverage targets, trunk‑based development (no PR gating), and CI/CD automation; the architecture and ways of working prove resilient and adaptable in practice.
