Microservice standardization

Microservice standardization

Microservice architecture brings freedom for developers, but building a sustainable microservice ecosystem requires holding microservices to high architectural and operational standards. Susan Fowler introduces a set of standards that apply to all microservicesstandards that ensure microservice availability while preserving developer freedom.

The adoption of microservice architecture brings a considerable amount of freedom to developers—freedom to make their own decisions about language, architecture, development tools, and the like. While this romantic idealization of microservice architecture is true in principle, not all microservices are created equal, nor should they be. To build a sustainable microservice ecosystem, one in which microservices interact with one another seamlessly, we need to hold our microservices to a set of very high architectural standards. Susan Fowler introduces seven principles of microservice standardization that are general enough to apply to every microservice at every company yet specific enough to be quantifiable and produce measurable results: every microservice must be stable, reliable, scalable, fault tolerant, performant, monitored, and documented. Susan dives into the requirements associated with each standard and shows how they work together to produce highly available and sustainable microservice ecosystems.

Jrme Petazzoni and AJ Bowen demonstrate building an app from development to production with Docker. Jrme and AJ run a sample app on a single node with Compose and add scaling and load balancing. They then provision a Swarm cluster with Docker Machine and implement multihost communication with overlay networking. The result will be a highly available, scalable deployment for the application.
