Microservice Patterns and Best Practices

By: Vinicius Feitosa Pacheco

Overview of this book

Microservices are a hot trend in the development world right now. Many enterprises have adopted this approach to achieve agility and the continuous delivery of applications to gain a competitive advantage. This book will take you through different design patterns at different stages of the microservice application development along with their best practices. Microservice Patterns and Best Practices starts with the learning of microservices key concepts and showing how to make the right choices while designing microservices. You will then move onto internal microservices application patterns, such as caching strategy, asynchronism, CQRS and event sourcing, circuit breaker, and bulkheads. As you progress, you'll learn the design patterns of microservices. The book will guide you on where to use the perfect design pattern at the application development stage and how to break monolithic application into microservices. You will also be taken through the best practices and patterns involved while testing, securing, and deploying your microservice application. At the end of the book, you will easily be able to create interoperable microservices, which are testable and prepared for optimum performance.

Chapter 2. The Microservice Tools

Some issues are always questionable or controversial when it comes to choosing a microservice stack. Much is discussed regarding the performance, practicality, cost, and scalability. Most of what is discussed is background views; many of these are valid opinions and many others not so much.

Obviously, the history of the development team should be considered in any technical decisions regarding the stack and implementation. However, at times, it is necessary to leave some comfort zones behind to develop a product. A comfort zone can be a programming language, a protocol, a framework, or a database, and they can limit a developer's ability to move at speed. The developed application then becomes more and more scalable.

In this chapter, you will be working on points that should be examined for internal discussions and development teams. In the end, it is always important to understand that the development stack is not an amusement park; to develop the best product...
