Overview of this book

Microservices are the latest "right" way of developing web applications. Microservices architecture has been gaining momentum over the past few years, but once you've started down the microservices path, you need to test and optimize the services. This book focuses on exploring various testing, monitoring, and optimization techniques for microservices. The book starts with the evolution of software architecture style, from monolithic to virtualized, to microservices architecture. Then you will explore methods to deploy microservices and various implementation patterns. With the help of a real-world example, you will understand how external APIs help product developers to focus on core competencies. After that, you will learn testing techniques, such as Unit Testing, Integration Testing, Functional Testing, and Load Testing. Next, you will explore performance testing tools, such as JMeter, and Gatling. Then, we deep dive into monitoring techniques and learn performance benchmarking of the various architectural components. For this, you will explore monitoring tools such as Appdynamics, Dynatrace, AWS CloudWatch, and Nagios. Finally, you will learn to identify, address, and report various performance issues related to microservices.

Microservices Deployment Patterns

In the previous chapters, we discussed the evolution of the microservice architecture and how it can be thought of as a set of services. We have also discussed the deployment and packaging of these services. This chapter will explore various microservices deployment patterns and look at how to deploy microservices so that they can be easily scaled to handle a large number of requests from other integrated components.

In this chapter, the reader will learn about the deployment of services. You will get an understanding of the structure, approach, and strategy of microservices deployment. We will also look in detail at the flow of microservices with various implementation patterns.

This chapter will cover the following topics:

  • Microservices deployment patterns:
    • Multiple instances of microservices per host
    • A single instance of a microservice per...
