Design a Microservices Architecture in Azure for a Real Product Strong Answer (Architecture Thinking) In production, I design microservices with independent scalability, loose coupling, and resilience. Real-world Scenario: E-commerce Platform Services: ● Order Service (ASP.NET Core API) ● Payment Service ● Inventory Service ● Notification Service

Real-world example (ShopNest)

ShopNest on Azure typically uses App Service + SQL Database + Blob Storage + Application Insights for monitoring.
