Overview of this book

Microservices have been widely adopted for designing distributed enterprise apps that are flexible, robust, and fine-grained into services that are independent of each other. There has been a paradigm shift where organizations are now either building new apps on microservices or transforming existing monolithic apps into microservices-based architecture. This book explores the importance of anti-patterns and the need to address flaws in them with alternative practices and patterns. You'll identify common mistakes caused by a lack of understanding when implementing microservices and cover topics such as organizational readiness to adopt microservices, domain-driven design, and resiliency and scalability of microservices. The book further demonstrates the anti-patterns involved in re-platforming brownfield apps and designing distributed data architecture. You’ll also focus on how to avoid communication and deployment pitfalls and understand cross-cutting concerns such as logging, monitoring, and security. Finally, you’ll explore testing pitfalls and establish a framework to address isolation, autonomy, and standardization. By the end of this book, you'll have understood critical mistakes to avoid while building microservices and the right practices to adopt early in the product life cycle to ensure the success of a microservices initiative.

Chapter 1: Setting Up Your Mindset for a Microservices Endeavor

Microservices is an architectural style that structures an application into multiple services that encapsulate business capabilities. These microservices are usually much smaller, both in terms of scope and functionality, compared to traditional services. They have logical and physical separation, and they communicate with each other via messages over a network to form an application.

Adopting the microservice architecture is a journey that requires a mindset that can embrace changes in culture, processes, and practices. In essence, organizations need to go through several changes to increase agility and adaptability to achieve their goals and deliver business value.

In this chapter, we will help you understand the philosophy of microservices and the various aspects that help organizations with their digital transformation. We will also learn about microservice design principles and their components, along with their benefits and challenges. Finally, we will discuss the role of leadership and how to get started by adopting widely accepted practices in the industry.

The following topics will be covered in this chapter:

  • Philosophy of microservices
  • Microservice design principles
  • Building teams to deliver business value faster
  • Benefits of microservices
  • Challenges of microservices
  • Microservice architecture components
  • Reviewing leadership responsibilities
  • Defining core priorities for a business
  • Using the twelve-factor app methodology
  • Additional factors for modern cloud-native apps

This chapter aims to help you understand the key concepts of microservices and their potential for bringing change that can fuel business growth for organizations. In addition, we will discuss the role of leadership in shifting the mindset by building effective teams that embrace change to deliver business value faster. Finally, we will dive into the "Twelve-Factor App" methodology, which has helped many organizations in their successful adoption of microservices.
