Overview of this book

This Learning Path helps you understand microservices architecture and leverage various services of Microsoft Azure Service Fabric to build, deploy, and maintain highly scalable enterprise-grade applications. You will learn to select an appropriate Azure backend structure for your solutions and work with its toolkit and managed apps to share your solutions with its service catalog. As you progress through the Learning Path, you will study Azure Cloud Services, Azure-managed Kubernetes, and Azure Container Services deployment techniques. To apply all that you’ve understood, you will build an end-to-end Azure system in scalable, decoupled tiers for an industrial bakery with three business domains. Toward the end of this Learning Path, you will build another scalable architecture using Azure Service Bus topics to send orders between decoupled business domains with scalable worker roles processing these orders. By the end of this Learning Path, you will be comfortable in using development, deployment, and maintenance processes to build robust cloud solutions on Azure. This Learning Path includes content from the following Packt products: • Learn Microsoft Azure by Mohamed Wali • Implementing Azure Solutions - Second Edition by Florian Klaffenbach, Oliver Michalski, Markus Klein • Microservices with Azure by Namit Tanasseri and Rahul Rai

API Gateway


Problem

Decomposing a monolithic architecture into a Microservice architecture exponentially increases the complexity in managing APIs. The challenges around API management can be categorized on to three divisions:

  • Abstraction: Abstracting the API developers and the consumers from complexities around security, transformation, analytics, diagnostics, throttling and quota management, caching, and so on.
  • Publishing: Publishing APIs, grouping APIs as bundles which can be associated with a business use case, deriving insights from consumption, and managing consumers.
  • Documentation: Creating and maintaining a catalog of deployed APIs, documenting the ways they can be consumed, analytics, and so on.

Manually managing these responsibilities become extensively complex especially in hyper scale enterprise ready deployment of Microservices:

API Gateway (Problem)

Solution

Introducing an API gateway as a management service helps solve complexities around managing Microservices there by letting developers...
