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

Setting up Graphite using Docker


In this recipe, we will learn how to set up Graphite using Docker. Before that, let's learn a few things about Graphite's architecture. Graphite consists of three major components: Whisper, Carbon, and Graphite-Web. Whisper is a database library that Graphite relies on. It works like a round-robin database. Carbon is the backend daemon that is responsible for handling client requests. The Graphite-Web interface is used to create dashboards and visualize the data stored in Graphite.

Getting ready

As usual, we will be defining our Graphite image in a docker-compose file. The reason we are using docker-compose instead of running docker run is that we will later be adding Grafana to this docker-compose file. Open up your STS IDE and navigate to the geolocation project.

How to do it...

The next few steps in this recipe will guide you through setting up a standalone Graphite instance using Docker.

  1. Create a new docker-compose YAML file called docker-compose-graphite...
