Connecting Developers to Architectural Excellence
Connecting Developers to Architectural Excellence
In a microservices architecture, each microservice exposes a set of (typically) fine-grained endpoints. This fact can impact the client-to-microservice communication. A direct client-to-microservice communication architecture could be good enough for a small microservice-based application, especially if the client app is…
As cloud computing is becoming a more common way of storing and managing data for all small to large-sized enterprises, the importance of understanding data usage patterns and the distance from the requestor entity has become vastly important. Distance is…
The concept of micro frontends, first introduced on the 2016 Thoughtworks Technology Radar, is becoming increasingly popular with engineers and development teams. Since its introduction, more and more teams have utilized this method of architecture to help manage the complexity…
Event-driven Architecture (EDA) is a software architecture paradigm promoting the production and consumption of events. An event represents an action of significant interest. Often, events correspond to a creation or a change of state of some entity. For example, raising an order in…
Instead of storing just the current state of the data in a domain, use an append-only store to record the full series of actions taken on that data. The store acts as the system of record and can be used…
n a previous post on microservices integration patterns, we talked briefly about messaging. Messaging comes with many options and patterns, and one of the most critical decisions you’ll make is choosing between message brokers. RabbitMQ and Kafka are lead options, seen…
When the world wide web first emerged, integrating different types of operating systems was a core challenge. Hypertext transfer protocol (HTTP) created communication channels by sharing hypertext, these systems started speaking a common language over an accepted protocol, and the…
Out of the many advantages of microservices, the most significant motivations are scale and autonomy for business units. These go hand in hand. However, we still need to create an integrated experience that makes sense for the end user. It’s…
Strengths of Monolotic Architecture Easier Debugging and End-to-End Testing: Unlike Microservice Architecture, Monolithic Applications are much easier to debug and test. Since a Monolithic Application is a single indivisible project, you can perform end-to-end tests much faster. Easy Deployment: One advantage associated with the Monolithic Applications being a single piece is easy…
