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

Using the Graphite interface


In this recipe, let's familiarize ourselves with the Graphite web interface. Though it looks very simple, it is packed with tons of graphing features. We will look at some of them in this recipe. For graphing, we will use the metrics that are created by statsd.

Getting ready

We will be picking some basic metrics from Graphite in order to demonstrate its graphing abilities. Also, let Graphite collect some metrics from statsd. It is recommended that you leave the Graphite container up and running for a few minutes before you try this recipe. After, say, 15 minutes, open a new browser tab and navigate to the Graphite web interface at http://192.168.99.100:8100.

How to do it...

The left-hand side pane of the Graphite interface is usually the metric chooser. That's where you will be able to find all the metrics that are available in Graphite. There are three tabs:

  • Tree

  • Search

  • Auto-Completer

Lets start with the Tree view first.
