Connecting Developers to Architectural Excellence
Implement functional checks in an application that external tools can access through exposed endpoints at regular intervals. This can help to verify that applications and services are performing correctly. Context and problem It’s a good practice, and often a business…
The deployment stamp pattern involves deploying multiple independent copies of application components, including data stores. Each individual copy is called a stamp, or sometimes a service unit or scale unit. This approach can improve the scalability of your solution, allow you to deploy instances…
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…
