Microservices

Microservices

Microservices architecture (often shortened to microservices) refers to an architectural style for developing applications. Microservices allow a large application to be separated into smaller independent parts, with each part having its own realm of responsibility. To serve a single user request, a microservices-based application can call on many internal microservices to compose its response.

That structures an application as a collection of services that are:

• Independently deploy-able
• Loosely coupled
• Organized around business capabilities
• Owned by a small team
• Highly maintainable and testable

The pattern language is your guide

• Better Fault Isolation for More Resilient Applications
  With a microservices architecture, the failure of one service is less likely to negatively impact other parts of the application because each microservice runs autonomously from the others.
• Programming Language and Technology Agnostic
  When creating a microservices-based application, developers can connect microservices programmed in any language.
• Better Data Security and Compliance
  One of the most significant benefits of microservices is that it enables businesses to take a more granular approach to data security.
• Greater Business Agility and Support for DevOps
  As enterprises strive to become more agile, they’re turning to microservices to increase their speed-to-market.
• Support for Two-Pizza Development Teams
  Each team is responsible for one or more services in microservices application architecture. This structure supports the “two-pizza” development team philosophy.
• Faster Time to Market and “Future-Proofing”
  The pluggability of a microservices application architecture allows for easier, faster application development and upgrades.
