Practical DevOps - Second Edition

By: joakim verona

Overview of this book

DevOps is a practical field that focuses on delivering business value as efficiently as possible. DevOps encompasses all code workflows from testing environments to production environments. It stresses cooperation between different roles, and how they can work together more closely, as the roots of the word imply—Development and Operations. Practical DevOps begins with a quick refresher on DevOps and continuous delivery and quickly moves on to show you how DevOps affects software architectures. You'll create a sample enterprise Java application that you’'ll continue to work with through the remaining chapters. Following this, you will explore various code storage and build server options. You will then learn how to test your code with a few tools and deploy your test successfully. In addition to this, you will also see how to monitor code for any anomalies and make sure that it runs as expected. Finally, you will discover how to handle logs and keep track of the issues that affect different processes. By the end of the book, you will be familiar with all the tools needed to deploy, integrate, and deliver efficiently with DevOps.

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.

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.
