MicroServices
As of 2018 a big buzzword: An architectural style to structure an application as a collection of small and loosely coupled independent services.
Some of its principles:
- Each microservice implements a single service capacity. Do one thing only and do it well
- Consider and embrace failure
- The service is elastic and resilient
- There’s no Data sharing between microservices
- Each microservice can be updated and deployed independently
To make the best out of microservices you must be able to:
- Support quick provisioning
- Monitor and report the state and functioning of the microservices in operation
- Have a solid Devops Culture/Practice which means Continous Delivery
