Applications consist of a large number of tasks, the execution of which the computer system distributes to the available resources. One of the key questions in software development: How should the individual pieces of code be linked to one another so that the application runs as efficiently and efficiently as possible? An increasingly popular answer to this question is microservices - small, … [Read more...]
The Fundamentals of Microservices
Microservices is composed of independent processes which communicate with each other via language-independent programming interfaces. The services are largely decoupled and do a small job. In this way, they enable a modular design of application software. The idea behind microservices is largely in line with the Unix philosophy - Do One Thing and Do It Well. The services should usually have the … [Read more...]
What is a Loosely Coupled System?
In computer science, loose coupling denotes a low degree of dependence on hardware or software components on each other. When a system is loosely coupled, it is often easier to make changes to individual components because the change has only a local effect. If there were a close coupling, the change would not remain local but would require additional adjustments in all coupled components if … [Read more...]
What is Conway’s Law?
Conway's law is an observation, which states that the structures of systems are predetermined by the communication structures of the organizations that implement them. Conway's law is based on the idea that interpersonal communication is necessary to define the interfaces between separate software modules. Therefore, the communication structures of the organizations have a great influence on the … [Read more...]
The Need for Monitoring the Microservices Environment
Microservices are becoming increasingly popular in software development. The reason for this lies in the ever-increasing complexity of IT infrastructures. To keep track of microservice environments, real-time monitoring continuing to help. The traditional way of managing and expanding monolithic enterprise applications becomes problematic with their increasing size and complexity. Switching to … [Read more...]
Does Serverless Computing Offer the Benefits of Microservices?
Often this kind of question arises in the mind of who are new to the world of cloud computing. We have discussed some basic around serverless including What Problems are Solved by Serverless, Relationship Between Serverless Computing and Microservices, What Is a Serverless Microservice and so on. Serverless is an excellent environment to build a microservices architecture due to optimal … [Read more...]
What is the Relationship Between Serverless Computing and Microservices?
Serverless Computing and Microservices are not exactly related unlike cloud computing and virtualization are related. It is of importantance not to confuse architecture and technologies but use the correct technology for the correct architecture. Microservices is a style of architecture style where we develop a set of multiple operation specific to a business logic. In that way, the total software … [Read more...]
What Is a Serverless Microservice?
In our few previous publications, we discussed the commonly asked matters around serverless, FaaS, microservices such as Serverless Functions vs Microservices, Difference Between FaaS and Serverless etc. What Iis a Serverless Microservice? Serverless microservice is combination of both serverless and microservice. Serverless microservices run within vendor's serverless infrastructure only when … [Read more...]
