Microservices Architecture Patterns

Transforming legacy architectures with agile & scalable microservices architectures

An Overview of Microservices Architecture

In this fast-changing world, the success of a business is dependent on its ability to react to threats, opportunities, and change. However, software applications with monolithic and tightly coupled architecture often face challenges on their quest towards modernization.
Does this sound familiar? Do you have an issue achieving you engineering goals owing to an inability to:

img

Have quicker release cycles

img

Build new features without disturbing the entire application

img

Auto-scale certain parts of your software based on seasonality of usage

Microservices Architecture Patterns have proven to be a modern-age solution to these business problems. It equips businesses running on monolithic applications to shift to smaller, all-encompassing applications with loosely coupled services where you can store data in one place and send it across various channels.

What are the 6 key Benefits of Microservices Architecture?

Here are the 6 major benefits of a Microservices Architecture that can help you upscale your application effortlessly:

img

Technology agnostic

Build microservices in a faster way with your preferred choice of technology

img

Quick deployment

Enable each of your microservices team to set and manage their deployment schedule to increase the overall speed of application deployments

img

Enhanced scalability

Allow your application to run correctly even when massive development changes are happening with independent services

img

Better isolation & resilience:

Isolate errors without shutting the entire application to improve uptime and find the source of the error separately

img

Greater business agility

Deliver services communicating via message bus with cross-functional teams

img

Secure architecture

Allow your services to focus on relevant security issues specific to their functionalities without issues.

How does a Microservices-based Architecture look like?

Here are two typical Microservices Architecture Patterns built on Microsoft Azure & AWS stack:

FAQs: What would you like to know about Microservices?

What is a microservices architecture?

Simply put, microservices architecture, as the name suggests is an atomic, self-contained, independently configurable unit deployment of the defined component/ service that is tasked with performing a specific responsibility within the larger ecosystem while aptly aligned to the evolving tools and technology landscape along with emerging business and architectural opportunities and patterns.

Where can you use Microservices?

Microservices, design is a great approach when some of our top and non-negotiable priorities align to below themes:
  • Manageability -ability to correct and improve existing functionality with minimal impact to other components of the system
  • Extensibility – Pluggable design with minimal impact to other components of the ecosystem
  • Maintainability - scalability, reliability, availability, performance, and security
  • Improved IT Governance, Faster Turnaround and Business Value Realisation- Lean Team with agile dynamics, small iterations delivering incremental value by way of implementing continuous delivery and quality control good practices
  • Adaptability - Ability to invest and adopt modern technology trends while keeping technical debt in check

What is the difference between service-oriented architecture (SOA) and microservices?

Service-oriented architecture (SOA) works on a broader enterprise level where each service is loosely coupled with the other and share a common Enterprise Service Bus (ESB) across all resources. Microservices, on the other hand, although loosely coupled come with a bounded context, meaning the relationship between each component and data is autonomous and communication takes place separately through application performance interfaces (APIs).

Since Microservices are fine grained services applications made using this architecture is quicker and easier to deploy. SOAs on the other hand, contain much larger and modular services giving lesser pliability during deployment.

Moving from the era of monolith, experiencing the evolution of Service Oriented Architectures, Microservices (fine-grained services with specific atomic responsibility) are a step further, a fork from SOA (which is most likely aligned to business processes) with distinct differences, primarily attributed to service structure, discovery & usage, asynchrony, decentralization of governance and data, eventually consistent distributed systems design principles.

What to keep in mind if you’re considering microservices architecture?

If you are organization keeping microservices at the core of your software delivery plan of action, then here are a few things you may want to take note of:
  • Utilizing your existing infrastructure and reducing costs: This can be done with microservices, using containers on a shared hardware you can run more services for your customers.
  • Opting to go serverless: Apart from using containers, you can also leverage advancement in technology - serverless, a whole new set of frameworks where source codes, functions etc. can be directly used during your execution.
  • Choosing the right abstraction layer: If you opted for containerization then Kubernetes and Docker act as your de facto container orchestration platforms where you can get a great deal of flexibility and speed. Going towards Functions as a service (FaaS) or serverless, you choose to create a whole set of Application Programming Interface (APIs) for larger and more complex applications.
  • Researching on data service platforms: During the selection procedure, go for platforms that have good support to run data services. Serverless functions are stateless but in case your app requires a constant state then platforms that run on Kubernetes can be a choice.
