Overview of this book

This Learning Path helps you understand microservices architecture and leverage various services of Microsoft Azure Service Fabric to build, deploy, and maintain highly scalable enterprise-grade applications. You will learn to select an appropriate Azure backend structure for your solutions and work with its toolkit and managed apps to share your solutions with its service catalog. As you progress through the Learning Path, you will study Azure Cloud Services, Azure-managed Kubernetes, and Azure Container Services deployment techniques. To apply all that you’ve understood, you will build an end-to-end Azure system in scalable, decoupled tiers for an industrial bakery with three business domains. Toward the end of this Learning Path, you will build another scalable architecture using Azure Service Bus topics to send orders between decoupled business domains with scalable worker roles processing these orders. By the end of this Learning Path, you will be comfortable in using development, deployment, and maintenance processes to build robust cloud solutions on Azure. This Learning Path includes content from the following Packt products: • Learn Microsoft Azure by Mohamed Wali • Implementing Azure Solutions - Second Edition by Florian Klaffenbach, Oliver Michalski, Markus Klein • Microservices with Azure by Namit Tanasseri and Rahul Rai

Master Data Management


Problem

In a Microservice-based architecture, services are modeled as isolated units that manage independent activities. However, fully functional systems rely on the cooperation and integration of Microservices. Data sharing in a Microservice architecture has its own sets of problems such as:

  • Handling big volumes of data
  • Consistency guarantees while reducing data-access contention using simple locks
  • Whether to share database for master data

Master Data Management (Problem)

Solution

Large scale Microservice based applications such as Netflix use different databases for each Microservice. This approach helps the services stay independent of each other. A schema change in one of the service databases does not impact the rest of the services. This approach increases the complexity of data management as the systems may get out of sync or become inconsistent.

A custom or ready-made Master Data Management (MDM) tool should be used that operates in background to fix any inconsistencies...
