NestJS inaunga mkono microservices vipi?

Question

Accepted Answer

NestJS ina **uungaji mkono wa microservices uliojengwa ndani** — inaweza kuendeshwa kama microservice inayowasiliana kupitia **transports** mbalimbali (TCP, Redis, NATS, RabbitMQ, Kafka, gRPC) badala ya HTTP, ikitumia muundo wa programu thabiti unaotegemea messages. Muundo uleule wa NestJS (modules, services, DI) unatumika; ni transport na message patterns tu vinavyobadilika.

## Kuunda microservice

```ts
// a microservice listens on a transport instead of HTTP
const app = await NestFactory.createMicroservice(AppModule, {
  transport: Transport.TCP,             // or REDIS, NATS, RMQ, KAFKA, GRPC
  options: { host: "0.0.0.0", port: 3001 },
});
await app.listen();
```

## Message patterns dhidi ya event patterns

```ts
@Controller()
export class MathController {
  // REQUEST-RESPONSE: respond to a message and RETURN a result (RPC-style)
  @MessagePattern({ cmd: "sum" })
  sum(data: number[]): number {
    return data.reduce((a, b) => a + b, 0);   // the caller awaits this result
  }

// EVENT-BASED: react to an event, NO response expected (fire-and-forget)
  @EventPattern("order_created")
  handleOrderCreated(data: OrderDto) {
    this.processOrder(data);                   // just react; nothing returned
  }
}
```

Mitindo miwili ya mawasiliano: **`@MessagePattern`** kwa request-response (caller anasubiri matokeo, kama RPC) na **`@EventPattern`** kwa events (fire-and-forget, iliyotenganishwa — publisher hasubiri).

## Kuita microservice nyingine (the client)

```ts
@Injectable()
export class AppService {
  constructor(@Inject("MATH_SERVICE") private client: ClientProxy) {}

async getSum() {
    // send() → request-response (returns an Observable of the result)
    return this.client.send({ cmd: "sum" }, [1, 2, 3]);
    // emit() → fire an event (no response)
    this.client.emit("order_created", orderData);
  }
}
```

`ClientProxy` (iliyosanidiwa kupitia `ClientsModule`) inatuma messages/events kwa services nyingine — `send()` kwa request-response, `emit()` kwa events.

## Hybrid applications

```ts
// an app can serve HTTP AND connect microservice transports simultaneously
const app = await NestFactory.create(AppModule);
app.connectMicroservice({ transport: Transport.RMQ, options: {...} });
await app.startAllMicroservices();
await app.listen(3000);   // HTTP too
```

## Chaguo la transport ni muhimu

```text
TCP   → simple direct service-to-service
Redis/NATS → lightweight pub/sub messaging
RabbitMQ/Kafka → robust message queues/streams (durability, retries, decoupling)
gRPC  → high-performance, strongly-typed RPC (protobuf)
→ Async message brokers (RMQ/Kafka) give decoupling & resilience; gRPC gives speed+typing.
```

## Kwa nini ni muhimu

Uungaji mkono wa microservices uliojengwa ndani ya NestJS ni muhimu kwa sababu unakuruhusu kujenga distributed systems ukitumia muundo *uleule* unaojulikana wa NestJS (modules, providers, DI, decorators) huku ukibadilisha HTTP kwa transports zinazotegemea messages — faida kubwa ya tija na uthabiti.

Kuielewa ni muhimu kwa kuunda architecture ya systems zinazoweza ku-scale: **tofauti kati ya message-pattern (request-response) na event-pattern (fire-and-forget)** inalingana moja kwa moja na chaguo la msingi la mawasiliano la microservices — synchronous RPC-style calls dhidi ya asynchronous, decoupled events (mwisho huu, kupitia message brokers, ukitoa resilience na loose coupling vinavyofanya microservices kuwa imara).

Kujua jinsi ya kuunda microservices, kufafanua message/event handlers, kuita services nyingine kupitia `ClientProxy`, kujenga hybrid HTTP+microservice apps, na kuchagua transports (lightweight pub/sub dhidi ya durable queues kama Kafka/RabbitMQ dhidi ya high-performance gRPC) ni maarifa muhimu ya kiwango cha senior kwa kubuni distributed back-ends.

Ingawa microservices huongeza utata halisi (na sio daima chaguo sahihi kuliko monolith), NestJS inafanya utekelezaji kuwa safi na thabiti, ikifanya hii kuwa mada muhimu ya kiarchitectural kwa kujenga large-scale, distributed NestJS systems.
