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 8. Chained Microservice Design Pattern

In the previous chapter, we saw the functioning and applicability of the proxy design pattern, which is a very widely used pattern, even though it is used unconsciously by some developers. We also understand the flexibility that the proxy provides for migrations from monolithic applications to microservices. In this chapter, you will learn about the chained design pattern, a very useful pattern, the use of which may become necessary for large applications that use the architecture of microservices.

During the course of this chapter, you will understand how the pattern functions and when and where it applies. You will also learn about the negative and positive points of the chained design pattern.

In this chapter, we'll look at:

  • Microservice communication
  • Pattern scalability
  • Anti-pattern
  • Best practices
