Connecting Developers to Architectural Excellence
Connecting Developers to Architectural Excellence
Building distributed systems can get complicated. So can building a monolithic one, to be fair. But the difference is most of us choose more complexity than we need by going distributed. Any experienced developer or architect will tell you that…
We live in an age where massive scale, Internet-facing systems like Google, Amazon, Facebook and the like are engineering icons. They handle vast volumes of requests every second and manage data repositories of unprecedented size. Getting precise traffic numbers on…
Data consistency is hardest part of the microservices architecture. Because in a traditional monolith application, a shared relational database handles data consistency. In a microservices architecture, each microservice has its own data store if you are using database per service pattern. So…
Serverless Architecture is a term that has been getting a lot of attention lately. Naturally, technical leaders are looking to come up to speed on the concept and are evaluating how best to make use of it. The first order…
A Microservices architecture makes it possible to isolate failures through well-defined service boundaries. But like in every distributed system, there is a higher chance for network, hardware or application level issues. As a consequence of service dependencies, any component can be temporarily unavailable for…
In the most recent projects I’ve worked on, the teams I’ve been a part of have decided on the direction of a microservice architecture pattern. The main motivation for this has been to overcome the challenges typically faced in monolith architectures. However, when dealing…
Designing Microservice Architecture the right way is quite challenging and difficult. On contrary to Monolith Architecture which gives one solution for all, Microservice Architecture gives a different solution for different problems. If the wrong solution is chosen, then the Microservice…
In Microservice Architecture, there are many Microservices often developed by separate teams. These microservices work together to fulfill a business requirement (e.g., customer request) and communicate with each other Synchronously or Asynchronously. Integration testing of a Consumer Microservice is challenging. Usually, TestDouble is used…
Every business Application has many configuration parameters for various Infrastructure (e.g., Database, Network, connected Service addresses, credentials, certificate path). Also, in an enterprise environment, the application is usually deployed in various runtimes (Local, Dev, Prod). One way to achieve this is…
