Practical DevOps

Overview of this book

DevOps is a practical field that focuses on delivering business value as efficiently as possible. DevOps encompasses all the flows from code through testing environments to production environments. It stresses the cooperation between different roles, and how they can work together more closely, as the roots of the word imply—Development and Operations. After a quick refresher to DevOps and continuous delivery, we quickly move on to looking at how DevOps affects architecture. You'll create a sample enterprise Java application that you’ll continue to work with through the remaining chapters. Following this, we explore various code storage and build server options. You will then learn how to perform code testing with a few tools and deploy your test successfully. Next, you will learn how to monitor code for any anomalies and make sure it’s running properly. Finally, you will discover how to handle logs and keep track of the issues that affect processes

Microservices and the data tier


One way of viewing microservices is that each microservice is potentially a separate three-tier system. We don't normally implement each tier for each microservice though. With this in mind, we see that each microservice can implement its own data layer. The benefit would be a potential increase of separation between services.

Tip

It is more common in my experience, though, to put all of the organization's data into a single database or at least a single database type. This is more common, but not necessarily better.

There are pros and cons to both scenarios. It is easier to deploy changes when the systems are clearly separate from each other. On the other hand, data modeling is easier when everything is stored in the same database.
