Key benefits

  • Implement the right microservices adoption strategy to transition from monoliths to microservices
  • Explore real-world use cases that explain anti-patterns and alternative practices in microservices development
  • Discover proven recommendations for avoiding architectural mistakes when designing microservices

Description

Microservices have been widely adopted for designing distributed enterprise apps that are flexible, robust, and fine-grained into services that are independent of each other. There has been a paradigm shift where organizations are now either building new apps on microservices or transforming existing monolithic apps into microservices-based architecture. This book explores the importance of anti-patterns and the need to address flaws in them with alternative practices and patterns. You'll identify common mistakes caused by a lack of understanding when implementing microservices and cover topics such as organizational readiness to adopt microservices, domain-driven design, and resiliency and scalability of microservices. The book further demonstrates the anti-patterns involved in re-platforming brownfield apps and designing distributed data architecture. You’ll also focus on how to avoid communication and deployment pitfalls and understand cross-cutting concerns such as logging, monitoring, and security. Finally, you’ll explore testing pitfalls and establish a framework to address isolation, autonomy, and standardization. By the end of this book, you'll have understood critical mistakes to avoid while building microservices and the right practices to adopt early in the product life cycle to ensure the success of a microservices initiative.

Who is this book for?

This practical microservices book is for software architects, solution architects, and developers involved in designing microservices architecture and its development, who want to gain insights into avoiding pitfalls and drawbacks in distributed applications, and save time and money that might otherwise get wasted if microservices designs fail. Working knowledge of microservices is assumed to get the most out of this book.

What you will learn

  • Discover the responsibilities of different individuals involved in a microservices initiative
  • Avoid the common mistakes in architecting microservices for scalability and resiliency
  • Understand the importance of domain-driven design when developing microservices
  • Identify the common pitfalls involved in migrating monolithic applications to microservices
  • Explore communication strategies, along with their potential drawbacks and alternatives

I received this book as a gift from a friend. This book mainly focuses on microservices architecture, pitfalls, anti-patterns, challenges related to its design, architecture, and adoption of microservices whether you are founding microservices from the scratch or refactoring existing monolith to microservices architecture. If you want to grasp microservices regardless of whether you have prior working experience or totally new to this arena, this book is for you.Here is some core focus of this book:This book starts with the outlook and benefits of the microservices architecture and what are some components (state management, API gateway, orchestration, messaging) and challenges its design. How cloud-native can play an important role in microservices architecture with the help of twelve-factor design principles.Why DDD (Domain Driven Design) plays a vital role in the implementation and success of microservices. Taking advantage of DDD for collaboration among the stakeholders and toward the defining microservices bounded context.Architecture pitfall and different complexities and how to deal with those with tools in the adaption of microservices and how team knowledge of cloud Native, orchestration, and choosing the right tools can help in the adoption of microservices.Pitfalls and considerations while transferring a monolith app into microservices and why should give importance to availability, scalability, and reliability during those transitions.Distributed transactions in the context of microservices architecture and how to tackle them.Microservice communication patterns, common protocols, pitfalls like direct communication of frontend with microservices how to avoid with help of API gateway.Focus on non-functional requirements security, logging, metrics, resilience, tracing, translation, and discovery with help of chassis and gatekeeper pattern.Deployment plan and roll back and plan and strategy. It also discusses the role of new technology like IaaC (Infrastructure as Code), DevOps, CI/CD, Agile Process, and Kubernetes.Importance of the various types of testing in the context of microservices and skip testing antipatterns.Though some sections of the book discussed the Azure cloud components, I think someone can understand or can find what is the counterpart in other Cloud platforms. I must say the authors did a great job setting up the attitude and understanding of microservices architecture and its challenges. So that you are ready during your journey toward the microservices architecture.

This is well organized and well written book on Microservices. Not your usual cup of tea, as it points to the pitfalls and reasons why some of the organizations fail to implement the microservices architecture correctly in the first place. Great deal for anybody who is diving into the world of microservices. Very well organized, while there are not many - great illustrations when needed and brings out the most important concepts when it comes to the topic and how to avoid problems when implementing them. Highly recommended read from these authors!!!

It is a good book for the cloud architect. The authors do a good job of describing the limitations and strengths of various architectures. In particular, the book is not tied to any particular technology or vendor. This book can be used as a tutorial or as a reference book for designing microservice architectures. I liked the discussion about performance regarding various choices.
