Microservice Patterns and Best Practices

By: Vinicius Feitosa Pacheco

Overview of this book

Microservices are a hot trend in the development world right now. Many enterprises have adopted this approach to achieve agility and the continuous delivery of applications to gain a competitive advantage. This book will take you through different design patterns at different stages of the microservice application development along with their best practices. Microservice Patterns and Best Practices starts with the learning of microservices key concepts and showing how to make the right choices while designing microservices. You will then move onto internal microservices application patterns, such as caching strategy, asynchronism, CQRS and event sourcing, circuit breaker, and bulkheads. As you progress, you'll learn the design patterns of microservices. The book will guide you on where to use the perfect design pattern at the application development stage and how to break monolithic application into microservices. You will also be taken through the best practices and patterns involved while testing, securing, and deploying your microservice application. At the end of the book, you will easily be able to create interoperable microservices, which are testable and prepared for optimum performance.

Chapter 5. Shared Data Microservice Design Pattern

In this chapter, much is said about microservices architecture; several cases of success are demonstrated, and a lot of patterns are taught. In addition, you are introduced to crucial concepts that developers face almost every day. All new concepts are instructive and aim to give more convenience, security, and speed to development using microservices architecture.

However, most concepts and techniques focus on new projects and use the microservice architecture. There are a few cases where something that is thought to be a legacy project is departing from another architectural pattern. There are also even rarer cases of transition of architecture.

Often, migration to microservices is painful due to a lack of documentation and the ultimate goal of achieving high standards. This chapter aims to show you exactly how to make a transition from legacy to the world of microservices.

In this chapter, we'll look at the following:
