The StudyCRM project is a real-world example of microservices architecture that demonstrates how large applications can be broken into smaller, independent services.

StudyCRM is a Customer Relationship Management (CRM) system split into three main services that work together:
Each service has its own database and can be updated independently without breaking the others.
Database Per Service - Each microservice has its own database, so they don’t interfere with each other.
Service Communication - Services talk to each other through APIs and message queues (Kafka).
API Gateway - A single entry point that routes requests to the right service.
Containerization - All services run in Docker containers for easy setup and deployment.
StudyCRM shows how microservices solve real problems: each service can be developed by different teams, deployed independently, and scaled based on demand. If one service goes down, the others keep running.
