🏗️ Microservices Architecture

Each feature is implemented as an independent microservice:

1. User Service - Handles user registration, login, and profile management.
2. Post Service - Manages tweet-related operations.
3. Comment Service - Handles post comments.
4. Like Service - Manages likes on posts.
5. Follow Service - Manages user follow/unfollow relationships.

Each service has its own database for data isolation and consistency, communicating via REST APIs.
