week-7

Hello, I want to write this blog after looking over some class activities again and seeing any questions to review, but something caught my attention. I read the word "microservices" in some class-work exercises; I got interested and looked it up again. I found two links that helped me understand What are microservices? And examples from Amazon company.

 

What are microservices? 

Microservices (microservice architecture) - is an architectural method that structures an application as a collection of services that are

  • Highly maintainable and testable
  • Loosely linked 
  • Individually deployable
  • Organized around business capabilities
  • Owned by a small team
The microservice architecture makes applications easier to scale and faster to develop, enabling innovation and accelerating time-to-market for new features to reduce complex applications. It even allows an organization to evolve its technology stack.

The pattern language guide 

The microservice architecture isn't perfect; It has several problems. Moreover, when using this architecture, many issues must address.

The microservice architecture pattern language is a set of patterns for applying the microservice architecture. It has two goals:

  • The pattern language allows whether microservices are a good place for application.
  • The pattern language allows the microservice architecture favorably.

Characteristics of Microservices

  • Autonomous - Each element set in a microservices architecture can be developed, deployed, operated, and scaled without affecting the functioning of other benefits. Services don't need to share any code or implementation with other services. Any connection between individual components happens through APIs. 
  • Specialized - Each service is designed for a collection of capabilities and focuses on solving a specific problem. 
Benefits of Microservices
  • Agility - promote an organization of small and independent teams that take ownership of their services. Groups work in a small and well-understood context and are allowed to work independently and fast. It helps to shorten construction cycle times. It benefits significantly from the throughput of the organization.
  • Flexible Scaling - Each service is to be independently scaled to meet the demand for its support application. It enables teams to support requirements, precisely measure the cost of a feature, and manage availability if a service experiences a spike in demand.
  • Easy Deployment - Enable continuous combination and delivery, helps try out new ideas, and rolls back if something doesn't work. The low cost of failure enables experimentation to update code and stimulates time-to-market for new features.
  • Technological Freedom - It doesn't follow a "one size fits all" plan. Teams have chosen the best tool to solve specific problems.
  • Reusable Code - Dividing software into small modules, which enables teams to use functions for multiple purposes.
  • Resilience - Service independence increases an application's stand to failure. With microservices, applications handle complete service failure by discrediting functionality and not crashing the entire application.

  1. This information supports me in learning and understanding the topic for the CS course. The material can students expect to apply what was learned in their future practice by small subject containing many types of information.
