Towards Microservices Architecture

Nobody uses SOA/ESB/Monoliths anymore. You should try Microservices!

Microservices is a trending topic among software engineers today. Let’s understand how you can start building truly modular systems with Microservices architecture.

Microservices Concept

Microservices architecture consists of collections of light-weight, loosely-coupled services. Each service implements a single business capability. Ideally, these services should be cohesive enough to develop, test, release, deploy, scale, integrate, and maintain independently.

Defining Characteristics of Microservices

• Each service is a light-weight, independent, and loosely-coupled business unit.
• Each service has its own codebase, managed and developed by a small team (mostly in an agile environment).
• Each service is responsible for a single part of the functionality (business capability), and does it well.
• Each service can pick the best technology stack for its use cases (no need to stick into one framework throughout the entire application).
• Each service has its own DevOp plan (test, release, deploy, scale, integrate, and maintain independently).
• Each service is deployed in a self-contained environment.
• Services communicate with each other by using…
