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.

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.
