Microservices

Microservices is a variant of the service-oriented architecture (SOA) architectural style that structures an application as a collection of loosely coupled services.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Microservices

Microservices-based architectures enable continuous delivery and deployment.

In a microservices architecture, services should be fine-grained and the protocols should be lightweight. The benefit of decomposing an application into different smaller services is that it improves modularity and makes the application easier to understand, develop and test.

The benefit of decomposing an application into different smaller services is that it improves modularity and makes the application easier to understand, develop and test. It also parallelizes development by enabling small autonomous teams to develop, deploy and scale their respective services independently

Example: E-Commerce

  • Web Front-End
  • Product Data Management (PDM)
  • Warehouse
  • Purchasing
  • Logistics
  • Payment
  • Billing
  • Identity

Principles

  • Focus on a single Domain
  • Two Pizza Rule
  • Autonomous
  • Small
  • Shared Nothing (Exclusive State)
  • Async

Advantages

  • Cross Platform
  • Easier Replacement / Refactoring
  • Decoupled Deployment
  • Code Ownership

Challenge: Complexity

Complexity

  • Significant Operations Overhead
  • Substantial DevOps Skills Required
  • Implicit Interfaces
  • Duplication Of Effort
  • Distributed System Complexity
  • Asynchronicity Is Difficult!
  • Testability Challenges

Challenge: Deployment

Deployment

  • Fast
  • Reliable
  • Repeatable

Automate Deployment!

The perfect deployment?

Build, ship and run any application anywhere
