Martin Fowler on Microservices:
In short, the microservice architectural style [1] is an approach to
developing a single application as a suite of small services, each running
in its own process and communicating with lightweight mechanisms,
often an HTTP resource API. These services are built around business
capabilities and independently deployable by fully automated
deployment machinery. There is a bare minimum of centralized
management of these services, which may be written in different
programming languages and use different data storage technologies.
Microservices: Scaling is important
https://www.nginx.com/blog/introduction-to-microservices/
Microservices: advantages
● The services themselves are very simple, focussing on doing
one thing well;
● Each service can be built using the best and most appropriate
tool for the job;
● Systems built in this way are inherently loosely coupled;
● Multiple developers and teams can deliver relatively
independently of each other under this model;
● They are a great enabler for continuous delivery, allowing
frequent releases whilst keeping the rest of the system
available and stable.
Microservices: drawbacks
● Complex distributed systems
● Diverse technology stack
● More software projects to manage
● Reliability and performance
● Exponentially more service instances to manage

• Container orchestrator
• Runs containers
• Supports multiple cloud and
bare-metal environments
• Inspired and informed by Google’s
experiences and internal systems
• Open source, written in Go
