We are quickly going to summarize a production-ready microservice and its criteria:
- A production-ready to go microservice is reliable and stable for service requests:
- It follows a standard development cycle adhering to 12-factor app standards (recall Chapter 1, Debunking Microservices)
- Its code is thoroughly tested through linters, unit test cases, integration, contract, and E2E test cases
- It uses CI/CD pipelines and incremental build strategy
- There are either backups, alternatives, fallbacks, and cache in place in case of service failures
- It has stable service registration and discovery process as per standards
- A production-ready to go microservice is scalable and highly available:
- It has auto scalability based on load coming at any time
- It utilizes hardware resources efficiently and does not block resource pool
- Its dependencies scale with the application
- Its traffic can be rerouted on a need basis
- It handles tasks and processes in a performant nonblocking and...
