Fundamentals of Microservices Design

Define the correct microservice scope When we talk about the scope of a microservice, we are referring to the features of an independent software module. The ability of microservices to perform as a nearly-stateless system allows it to be developed independently. Create a unique service which will act as an identifying source, much like a unique key in a database table. Have loose coupling with high cohesion We should create correct API and take special care during integration. The microservices style is usually organized around business capabilities and priorities.  Unlike a traditional monolithic development approach—where different teams each have a specific focus on, say, UIs, databases, technology layers, or server-side logic—microservice architecture utilizes cross-functional teams.  The responsibilities of each team are to make specific products based on one or more individual services communicating via message bus. In microservices, a team owns the product for its lifetime. Restrict access to data… Read more“Fundamentals of Microservices Design”

Microservices and their key benefits

Microservices are a kind of software architectural solution that allows software to be developed into relatively small, distinct and loosely coupled components. Each of the components provides a distinct subset of the functionality of the entire application. Each microservice, can then be designed, developed, and managed independently. This allows for distributed ownership of a large application across a large organisation, with each microservice owned by a specific team. Microservices are an independent components and are smaller in size hence can be easily built and maintain by a small team. Microservices are scalable. Technology diversity i.e. This eliminates long-term commitment to a single technology stack, if you want to try out a new technology stack on an individual service, you can go ahead. Fault isolation i.e. larger applications remain unaffected by the failure of small component. Better support for parallel team to work on separate components. Independent deployment and easy integration…. Read more“Microservices and their key benefits”
