Practical Microservices

Overview of this book

<p>A microservice architecture helps you build your application as a suite of different services. This approach has been widely adopted as it helps to easily scale up your application with reduced dependencies. This way if a part of your application is corrupted, it can be fixed easily thereby eliminating the possibility of completely shutting down your software. This book will teach you how to leverage Java to build scalable microservices. You will learn the fundamentals of this architecture and how to efficiently implement it practically.</p> <p>We start off with a brief introduction to the microservice architecture and how it fares with the other architectures. The book dives deep into essential microservice components and how to set up seamless communication between two microservice end points. You will create an effective data model and learn different ways to test and deploy a microservices. You will also learn the best way to migrate your software from a monolith to a microservice architecture.</p> <p>Finishing off with monitoring, scaling and troubleshooting, this book will set a solid foundation for you to start implementing microservices.</p>

Techniques to solve the common issue


In the previous section, we looked at some common issues we face in microservice architecture. We will try to find out a solution pattern for them in this section.

Steps to help with performance issues

Performance in microservice does not only depend on the code. It has to include issues such as network latency, message serialization/deserialization, dynamic loads within the application, and so on. This actually increases the scope of testing in terms of performance. The first step would be to increase the resources. Scale your application vertically, increase the server resources that will result in some performance gain, but adding more resources to the server cannot always help you. Adding load balance is another approach. You can add load balance in front and adding more server in backend to handle the scale. This should even be optimized when traffic is high and there is an increase in the number of servers. One observes the patterns with old data...
