Microservices Deployment Cookbook

By: Vikram Murugesan

Overview of this book

This book will help any team or organization understand, deploy, and manage microservices at scale. It is driven by a sample application, helping you gradually build a complete microservice-based ecosystem. Rather than just focusing on writing a microservice, this book addresses various other microservice-related solutions: deployments, clustering, load balancing, logging, streaming, and monitoring. The initial chapters offer insights into how web and enterprise apps can be migrated to scalable microservices. Moving on, you’ll see how to Dockerize your application so that it is ready to be shipped and deployed. We will look at how to deploy microservices on Mesos and Marathon and will also deploy microservices on Kubernetes. Next, you will implement service discovery and load balancing for your microservices. We’ll also show you how to build asynchronous streaming systems using Kafka Streams and Apache Spark. Finally, we wind up by aggregating your logs in Kafka, creating your own metrics, and monitoring the metrics for the microservice.

Preface

Monitoring your microservice logs in Marathon


So far, we have learned how to deploy, scale, suspend, and destroy our microservice in a Mesos cluster using Marathon. All these steps are part of your deployment process, but there is one thing you would want to do post deployment: monitor the logs. In this recipe, we will look at how to monitor our application logs using Marathon.

Getting ready

Fortunately, there is an easy way to look at your application's log files using Marathon's web interface. Though it is not very user friendly, it is still possible. To illustrate this, let's deploy the geolocation microservice using Marathon. If you have to restart your Mesos cluster, do so. In Marathon, use JSON mode and the JSON that was used in recipe Scaling your Microservice in Marathon to deploy the application.

How to do it...

  1. Once your application has started, go to the geolocation application's page in Marathon. You will see that one instance of your application is running. Click on the running...
