Microservices add complexity to an architecture. With more moving parts in a system, monitoring and observing the behavior of the system becomes more important and more challenging. In a microservice architecture, failure conditions impacting one service can cascade in unexpected ways, impacting the system as a whole. A faulty switch somewhere in a datacenter may be causing unusually high latency for a service, perhaps resulting in intermittent timeouts in requests originating from the API Gateway, which may result in unexpected user impact, which results in an alert being fired. This kind of scenario is not uncommon in a microservice architecture and requires forethought so that engineers can easily determine the nature of customer-impacting incidents. Distributed systems are bound to experience certain failures and special consideration must be taken to build observability...

Overview of this book
Microservices have become a popular choice for building distributed systems that power modern web and mobile apps. They enable you to deploy apps as a suite of independently deployable, modular, and scalable services. With over 70 practical, self-contained tutorials, the book examines common pain points during development and best practices for creating distributed microservices. Each recipe addresses a specific problem and offers a proven, best-practice solution with insights into how it works, so you can copy the code and configuration files and modify them for your own needs.
You’ll start by understanding microservice architecture. Next, you'll learn to transition from a traditional monolithic app to a suite of small services that interact to ensure your client apps are running seamlessly. The book will then guide you through the patterns you can use to organize services, so you can optimize request handling and processing. In addition this, you’ll understand how to handle service-to-service interactions. As you progress, you’ll get up to speed with securing microservices and adding monitoring to debug problems. Finally, you’ll cover fault-tolerance and reliability patterns that help you use microservices to isolate failures in your apps.
By the end of this book, you’ll have the skills you need to work with a team to break a large, monolithic codebase into independently deployable and scalable microservices.
