7 Best Practices for Building Effective Microservices
Microservices Architecture is a hot topic in all software development circles. Well, it really deserves this much attention, since that architectural pattern solves pretty much all important pain points that are glued to monolithic software systems. Scaling rapidly, reducing downtimes, high availability are main added values of the microservices, which is vital especially for data intensive applications. Without further due, let us have a look at some best practices that would make micro services more efficient and performant.
Enabling Dedicated Data Storage…
Each micro-service should have, if needed, its own dedicated database instance separated from others. Building backend based on microservices architecture with a single database instance that all services talk to does not mean that the software system is microservices: persistence layer is still monolithic. Slightly improvement would be at least separate services in table context: each service talks to its own separated tables even if all tables are in same database instance. But the best way out is: each service has separated database instance.
Defining Boundaries…
Each micro-service should be scoped based on single responsibility principle. That means each service has only one task, single responsibility. The main…
