How to measure weight by means of a microcontroller and a strain gauge?

Good day!
Please help with advice on where to look in search of a solution to the problem:
You need a device that can measure weight and transmit information to an external System.
Main characteristics:

  1. Measured weight from 50g to 3kg.
  2. Autonomous food.
  3. External interfaces for transferring the result - bluetooth, wi-fi.
  4. An important factor: small size - < 1cm in height, and in general, the smaller the better.

Interested in the following information:
1. Variants of components for implementation.
2. Any other information that will guide you along the way to solving the problem - articles, links, profile groups, etc.
Well, or you know the finished device.
Thank you.
ps Search engine used. There are solutions based on arduino + HX711, but suddenly you know a more technologically advanced and miniature version.

The HX711 + ESP8266 + Micropython variant will probably be the champion in terms of price and ease of execution.

Well, for example, you can take the ESP32 even with properly configured sleep/shutdown modes - it will be able to live on a CR2032 "tablet" for years.
