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.

Understanding the pros and cons of chained design pattern


The chained design pattern has both positive and negative aspects, just like any other pattern. However, if it is not very well implemented, chained patterns can create complex problems.

Some examples of the good points that the pattern offers us are as follows:

  • Practical implementation
  • Dynamism for business
  • Independent scalability
  • Encapsulation of access to microservices

However, we must also understand some of the negative points of the pattern, such as:

  • The possibility of latency points
  • The difficulty in understanding data ownership
  • The difficulty of debugging

Working with microservices is not easy, since many aspects, besides the technician, influence the final result. In the future, we will apply the chained design pattern properly in our application, and we will understand the scenario in which it best applies in a practical way.
