Microservices are a style or technique of the software development process, in which applications serve as lightweight, loose coupled services. The overall microservices architecture addresses the major problems faced by enterprises today.
Offering great fault tolerance, easy integration, high scalability, increased accessibility, and higher efficiency, microservices architecture is becoming increasingly popular in the high-tech corporate world. Companies like Amazon, Uber, Netflix, PayPal, Twitter, and other similar high-traffic platforms rely on microservices-based software to serve customers.
However, migrating monolith architecture to the microservices is not easy. No matter how experienced your IT team is, consider seeking microservices consulting so that your team works in the correct direction. We, at Enterprise Cloud Services, offer valuable and insightful microservices consulting. But before going into what our consulting services cover, let’s go through some of the key microservices concepts that will highlight the importance of seeking microservices consulting.
Important Microservices Concept
Automation and DevOps
With more parts, microservices can rather add to the complexity. Therefore, the biggest challenge associated with microservices adoption is the automation needed to move the numerous moving components in and out of the environments. The solution lies in DevOps automation, which fosters continuous deployment, delivery, monitoring, and integration.
Containerization
Since a microservices architecture includes many more parts, all services must be immutable, that is, they must be easily started, deployed, discovered, and stopped. This is where containerization comes into play.
Containerization enables an application as well as the environment it runs to move as a single immutable unit. These containers can be scaled when needed, managed individually, and deployed in the same manner as compiled source code. They’re the key to achieving agility, scalability, durability, and quality.
Established Patterns
The need for microservices was triggered when web companies struggled to handle millions of users with a lot of variance in traffic, and at the same time, maintain the agility to respond to market demands. The design patterns, operational platforms, and technologies those web companies pioneered were then shared with the open-source community so that other organizations can use microservices too.
However, before embracing microservices, it’s important to understand established patterns and constructs. These might include API Gateway, Circuit Breaker, Service Registry, Edge Controller, Chain of Responsibility Pattern/Fallback Method, Bounded Context Pattern, Failure as a Use Case, Command Pattern, etc.
Independently Deployable
The migration to microservices architecture involves breaking up the application function into smaller individual units that are discovered and accessed at runtime, either on HTTP or an IP/Socket protocol using RESTful APIs.
Protocols should be lightweight and services should have a small granularity, thereby creating a smaller surface area for change. Features and functions can then be added to the system easily, at any time. With a smaller surface area, you no longer need to redeploy entire applications as required by a monolithic application. You should be able to deploy single or multiple distinct applications independently.
Platform Infrastructure
Companies can leverage on-premise or off-premise IaaS solutions. This allows them to acquire computing resources such as servers, storage, and data sources on an on-demand basis. Among the best solutions include:
Kubernetes
This is an open-source container management platform introduced launched by Google. It’s designed to manage containerized applications on multiple hosts. Not only does it provide basic mechanisms for maintenance, scaling, and deployment of applications, but it also facilitates scheduling, auto-scaling, constant health monitoring, and upgrades on-the-fly.
Service Fabric
Launched by Microsoft, Service Fabric is a distributed systems platform that simplifies packaging, deploying, and maintaining reliable and scalable microservices. Apart from containerization, you benefit from the built-in microservices best practices. Service Fabric is compatible with Windows, Azure, Linux, and AWS. Plus, you can also run it on your local data center.
OpenShift
OpenShift is a Platform-as-a-Service (PaaS) container application platform that helps developers quickly develop, scale, and host applications in the cloud. It integrates technologies such as Kubernetes and Docker and then combines them with enterprise foundations in Red Hat Enterprise Linux.
