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.

Documentation of communication


Communication between teams, whether technical teams or business teams, is something   that is, relatively complex. At other times, the technical communication between various teams such as frontend, backend, and mobile can be costly, and can delay some deliveries, commits, or the functionality of a feature. However, fluid communication with no noise is critical to the success of any project.

Writing good documentation, either in internal code or a simple document, is the best way to standardize knowledge among teams. The Swagger API is a good alternative solution for such problems:

With a simple configuration file, all of the APIs can be developed together with full integration between the team that develops requirements and the team that develops solutions.
