What technical skills does an engineer possess for developing and maintaining a microservices architecture?

An engineer working with microservices architecture should possess the following technical skills:

• Knowledge of a programming language, such as Go, for developing services.
• Understanding of REST and/or gRPC principles for service interaction.
• Experience with containers (Docker) and orchestrators (Kubernetes).
• Skills in working with configuration management and service discovery systems.
• Knowledge of logging and monitoring systems (e.g., ELK stack, Prometheus).
• Experience with databases (SQL and NoSQL).
