Hello everyone. In this article, we are going to see about Microservice Architecture and how it is different from a Monolithic application. Then we are going to see what are Microservices Design Patterns and the different types. We will then see about the advantages and drawbacks of Microservices architecture to conclude this article. Let’s get started

What are Microservices?

Microservices is an architectural style for developing a software application that runs as individual services which communicate with each other through the following ways

  1. Synchronous communication using API calls
  2. Asynchronous communication through Publish and Subscribe/event-based mechanism — i.e using Message Queues

These microservices possess the following properties

  • Independently deployable
  • Highly scalable to loads
  • Can be developed using multiple programming languages — i.e polyglot
  • Loosely coupled
  • Organized around the business domain
  • Owned by small and self-contained teams
  • Highly maintainable and testable
  • Continuous Delivery through automated CICD
