Designing And Building Solid Microservice Ecosystems

It's not new to us that microservices are changing the way we conceive digital transformation, as organizations embrace digital transformation. Every day, more and more companies are betting on microservice adoption, and there is a strong reason for this: business needs to evolve and change at a fast pace, in order to adapt itself to satisfy a demanding 2.0 digital customer's experience in terms of overall service quality. Ensuring that such a change occurs seamlessly and progressively is one of the goals for microservices, and designing and building a solid microservice architecture is the way to guarantee that this happens from inception, by observing principles, best practices, design patterns, and reference models. This book provides a comprehensive walkthrough across the different concepts, frameworks, methodologies, and architecture building blocks that make up a microservice ecosystem and constitute a reference architecture from which you can get to multiple sub-architectures and implementations. Being an architect, you'll learn how to better design microservice-led and event-centric architectures in the right way from the early beginning, by showcasing learned lessons, best-practices do's, and don'ts. If you are starting your architecture career, it's the right place to get introduced to concepts and methodologies that you will then grow over time, as you acquire more experience. If you are a developer, but willing to jump into the exciting architecture world, this can also be good reading, however, be warned that some basic architectural understandings and concepts need to be first incorporated before walking through the advanced concepts presented throughout this book. This book requires you to have some minimal background around Docker and Microservices to better understand the more advanced concepts that are being explained.

Build enterprise-grade microservice ecosystems with intensive case studies using C# Key Features Learn to build message-based microservices Packed with case studies to explain the intricacies of large-scale microservices Build scalable, modular, and robust architectures with C# Book Description C# is a powerful language when it comes to building applications and software architecture using rich libraries and tools such as .NET. This book will harness the strength of C# in developing microservices architectures and applications. This book shows developers how to develop an enterprise-grade, event-driven, asynchronous, message-based microservice framework using C#, .NET, and various open source tools. We will discuss how to send and receive messages, how to design many types of microservice that are truly usable in a corporate environment. We will also dissect each case and explain the code, best practices, pros and cons, and more. Through our journey, we will use many open source tools, and create file monitors, a machine learning microservice, a quantitative financial microservice that can handle bonds and credit default swaps, a deployment microservice to show you how to better manage your deployments, and memory, health status, and other microservices. By the end of this book, you will have a complete microservice ecosystem you can place into production or customize in no time. What you will learn Explore different open source tools within the context of designing microservices Learn to provide insulation to exception-prone function calls Build common messages used between microservices for communication Learn to create a microservice using our base class and interface Design a quantitative financial machine microservice Learn to design a microservice that is capable of using Blockchain technology Who this book is for C# developers, software architects, and professionals who want to master the art of designing the microservice architecture that is scalable based on environment. Developers should have a basic understanding of.NET application development using C# and Visual Studio

One of the biggest challenges for organizations that have adopted microservice architecture is the lack of architectural, operational, and organizational standardization. After splitting a monolithic application or building a microservice ecosystem from scratch, many engineers are left wondering what’s next. In this practical book, author Susan Fowler presents a set of microservice standards in depth, drawing from her experience standardizing over a thousand microservices at Uber. You’ll learn how to design microservices that are stable, reliable, scalable, fault tolerant, performant, monitored, documented, and prepared for any catastrophe. Explore production-readiness standards, including: Stability and Reliability: develop, deploy, introduce, and deprecate microservices; protect against dependency failures Scalability and Performance: learn essential components for achieving greater microservice efficiency Fault Tolerance and Catastrophe Preparedness: ensure availability by actively pushing microservices to fail in real time Monitoring: learn how to monitor, log, and display key metrics; establish alerting and on-call procedures Documentation and Understanding: mitigate tradeoffs that come with microservice adoption, including organizational sprawl and technical debt

Distributed systems have become more fine-grained in the past 10 years, shifting from code-heavy monolithic applications to smaller, self-contained microservices. But developing these systems brings its own set of headaches. With lots of examples and practical advice, this book takes a holistic view of the topics that system architects and administrators must consider when building, managing, and evolving microservice architectures. Microservice technologies are moving quickly. Author Sam Newman provides you with a firm grounding in the concepts while diving into current solutions for modeling, integrating, testing, deploying, and monitoring your own autonomous services. You’ll follow a fictional company throughout the book to learn how building a microservice architecture affects a single domain. Discover how microservices allow you to align your system design with your organization’s goals Learn options for integrating a service with the rest of your system Take an incremental approach when splitting monolithic codebases Deploy individual microservices through continuous integration Examine the complexities of testing and monitoring distributed services Manage security with user-to-service and service-to-service models Understand the challenges of scaling microservice architectures

Use the many types of tools required to navigate and maintain a microservice ecosystem. This book examines what is normally a complex system of interconnected services and clarifies them one at a time, first examining theoretical requirements then looking at concrete tools, configuration, and workflows. Building out these systems includes many concerns such as containerization, container orchestration, build pipelines and continuous integration solutions, automated testing, service discovery, logging and analytics. You will examine each of these tools and understand how they can be combined within an organization. You will design an automated build pipeline from Pull Request to container deployment, understand how to achieve High Availability and monitor application health with Service Discovery, and learn how to collaborate with other teams, write documentation, and describe bugs. Covering use of Jenkins, Docker, Kubernetes, the ELK stack (Elasticsearch, Logstash, and Kibana), and StatsD and Grafana for analytics, you will build on your existing knowledge of Service-Oriented Architecture and gain an advanced, practical understanding of everything from infrastructure development to team collaboration. What You'll Learn Design an API to be convenient for developers to consume. Deploy dynamic instances of Microservices and allow then to discover each other. Track the health of a Microservice and be notified in case of degraded performance. Write effective documentation and communicate efficiently with other teams. Who This Book Is For Those who would like a better understanding of System Oriented Architecture. Those who would like to break a monolith into smaller Microservices. Those who are familiar with Microservices and would like a better understanding of peripheral technologies.
