Load balancers are networking devices or software components that evenly distribute incoming network or application traffic across multiple servers or resources. They play a crucial role in optimizing resource utilization, ensuring high availability, and improving the reliability and performance of modern applications and services by preventing any single server from becoming overwhelmed with traffic. Load […]
In this article, we are going to explore Microservices Fundamentals like what microservices are, what benefits they can bring, the complexities and challenges that they introduce, and what you can do to understand the tradeoffs. There are some other major topics that like managing the quality of microservices architectures, building and running resilient microservices in

In this article we will be introducing 6 core design principles in terms of implementing a successful microservices architecture. A successful implementation is a software system which is flexible, scalable, reliable, and gives you that competitive edge in your marketplace. People who are normally new to this style of architecture are sometimes overwhelmed by all

Automation in Microservices is another key design principle for our architecture, and the main thinking behind this is to use tools for automated hosting, testing, and deployment. Let’s deep dive in different automation strategies. On-Demand Hosting By automated hosting, we mean once we have our software architecture perfected, i.e. our production environment perfected, we want

Observability Design Principle is key for our microservices architecture because this architectural style gives you an architecture which is complex with many moving parts. Therefore, we need the ability not only to see the health of our workflows, i.e. our logical transactions, but we also need the ability to see the health of all our

Resiliency design principle of mircroservices is all about making our software reliable and available and ensuring that if we do have any failures within our back‑end microservices, each service fails fast and there’s alternate functionality so that the user doesn’t face any disruption. Let’s discuss the various steps to develop a resilient system Design for

In this article we’re going to discuss the ownership culture in microservices. It doesn’t sound like as if it’s got anything to do with design, but in reality, it has a massive impact on the way we design our microservices architecture. Service as a Product The first idea behind this principle is that we treat

41. What is the role of web and RESTful APIs in Microservices?A microservice architecture is based on a concept wherein all its services should be able to interact with each other to build a business functionality. So, to achieve this, each microservice must have an interface. This makes the web API a very important enabler
31. How to maintain ACID transactions in Microservices?ACID is an acronym for four primary attributes namely atomicity, consistency, isolation, and durability ensured by the database transaction manager. In a distributed system involving multiple databases, we have two options to achieve ACID compliance: 2 Phase Commit should ideally be discouraged in microservices architecture due to its
11. How can we test the Microservices based architecture?One should have unit and integration tests where all the functionality of a microservice can be tested. One should also have component based testing.One should have contract tests to assert that the expectations by the client is not breaking. End-to-end test for the microservices, however, should only
