Microservices

Microservices Architecture and its implementation using Spring Framework

Microservices - also known as the microservice architecture - is an architectural style that structures an application as a collection of loosely coupled services, which implement business capabilities. The goal of the microservice architecture is to accelerate software development by enabling continuous delivery/deployment.

Microservices Java Interview Questions

  • Top 50 Spring Microservices interview questions

  • What are key principles of Microservices Architecture? How are they different from a Monolith and SOA application?

  • Small Services vs Microservices - what distinguished microservices from a small service?

  • How to do authentication at API Gateway Level?

  • How to protect OAuth2 clientId and clientSecret from a public client like Android App?

  • How will you implement throttling of requests for a given client at API Gateway Level?

  • What are four different grant types in OAuth2 password flow? Who is potential user for each one?

  • How often one should release Microservices to production?

  • Can two microservices share the same database?

  • How to communicate from one microservice to another?

  • Figure out number of microservices in a typical e-shop?

  • How to assign a random port to microservice on every run? Whats benefit?

Best Practices in Microservices Architecture

  1. Good service doesn’t need information from another service, it already has it.

  2. All you need is services with right boundaries. Right boundaries result in services being autonomous, loosely coupled and highly-cohesive.

  3. avoid synchronous communication.

  4. The only way good services communicate is via events. Good services are eventually-consistent as well, so there are no distributed transactions.

  5. Always make GET/POST/PUT and DELETE operation idempotent because networks are brittle and replay of a certain network operation should not cause failure.
