Apache Cassandra MicroServices
• REALTIME REQUESTS & SCALABILITY AT CORE
• DISTRIBUTED ARCHITECTURES
– From ACID to BASE (Basic Availability, Soft-State, Eventual Consistency)
– Implementations: CQRS, Event Sourcing
– Colocate service and Data
• DECOUPLING BY DESIGN
– 1 KEYSPACE = DOMAIN
– 1 QUERY = 1 TABLE

v Decoupling Client / Server (Schema on read)
v Api Lifecycle (Versioning)
v Tooling (API Management, Serverless)
v Verbose payloads (json, xml)
v No discoverability
v Not suitable for command-like (functions) API
v CRUD superstar
v Relevant for mutations (OLTP)
v Public and web APIs

48. switch(SpringBoot.api()) { Case REST,GRAPHQL,GRPC } | @clunven KYIV, 2020
v High Performances (http/2 – binary serialisation)
v Multiple stubs : Sync, Async, Streaming
v Multi languages - Interoperability
v Strongly coupled (schema with proto files)
v No discoverability
v Protobuf serialization format
v Distributed network of services (no waits)
v High throughput & streaming use cases
v Command-like (eg: slack)

49. switch(SpringBoot.api()) { Case REST,GRAPHQL,GRPC } | @clunven KYIV, 2020
v Discoverability, documentation
v Custom payloads
v Match standards (Json | Http)
v Single endpoint (versioning, monitoring, security)

v Nice for customers nasty for DB (N+1 select)
v Backend for frontend (JS)
