Design Microservices Architecture with Patterns and Principles - The Scale Cube

The video tutorial discusses the importance of scaling in microservices, emphasizing the need for independent scaling and deployment. It introduces the concept of the scale cube, which consists of three axes: X, Y, and Z. X axis scaling involves horizontal duplication for stateless services, Y axis scaling focuses on functional decomposition into microservices, and Z axis scaling deals with data partitioning for stateful services. The tutorial highlights the application of these scaling models in microservice architecture, particularly in ecommerce applications, and the use of tools like Kubernetes for effective scaling.
