Microservices Architecture with NEXTBRIDGE
Microservices or microservices architecture is a style that is adopted in the tech industry to handle large and multifaceted applications. The main reason why microservices is in fashion because it has the aptitude to break monolithic applications into smaller chunks to manage the app effectively.
We have been teaching microservices for many years now and we are getting stronger at it with time. Our teaching practices have evolved over these years. We are one of the acclaimed institutions in Pakistan that are helping engineering students to master microservices architecture and architectural patterns.
Large enterprises opt for a monolithic approach because most of the time they are dealing with larger application development. But, oftentimes, they find it hard to efficiently respond to their customer’s rising concerns. Undoubtedly, the world is evolving at a faster pace so their customer’s expectations are also evolving. That’s not peanuts to develop a large application and then change a portion of it. And that is why these organizations are looking to explore the positives of the best microservices architecture.
Let’s use legacy applications as an example here. To change and update the entire structure of an already built application isn’t an easy job to achieve. This leads to a complete change of code base, architectural design, layout, and whole feature modification alteration will be required. The answer is microservices architecture adoption.
If your company’s application development strategy is still based on a monolithic approach, you need to ask yourself the following questions:
- How to apply the ongoing market changes and modernization to your existing applications?
- How to attain scalable application development without deploying suggested market updates?
Microservices Architecture Benefits
Its architecture emphasizes building a chunk of an app and running its processes to test its work. This way you can focus entirely on one task and can complete it effectually. Microservices applications can be designed using any tech stack, which means, there is no specific implementation-defined for it. In fact, a microservices architecture makes it easy to pick and choose a technology stack.
An application that is designed using microservices architecture can be deployed easily. Because even if an error is identified, the whole applications’ functioning will not be affected. Once the error is fixed, only the affected service will be re-deployed, the other features will be up and running.
While you can distribute an application’s development task into smaller sections and execute those one at a time, microservices also lets you take care of lengthy API integration work. Not only these, but there are several other advantages of microservices over monolithic ones.
The Positives And Negatives
MONOLITHIC | MICROSERVICES |
---|---|
Development based on a single-code | Development based on own-code |
Hard to maintain, in case change is required | Easy to maintain, in case change is required |
Complicated deployment | Easy deployment |
Application is developed using a single tech-stack | Application can be developed using multiple tech-stacks |
Tightly coupled | Loosely coupled |
How to Get Started with Microservices Architecture
Optimistically, microservices architecture is a cliché. Have you started to think about a microservices application? But, how to get started? You now know that there are numerous reasons, to begin with this technique, such as:
- Scalability
- Productivity
- Agility
- Re-usability
The most popular frameworks that can be used to develop a microservices architecture are Spring Boot, Vert.x, Falcon, and there are others too. You can deploy the architecture on the cloud to serve multiple users around the world, with containers, PaaS, serverless environments where traffic handling is not the issue, or build your infrastructure.
AWS and Azure are a few best providers for this service, and for monitoring purposes, Splunk or Datadog are the best tools.
In a Nutshell
We predict that microservices architecture in the forthcoming will become the most preferred style of application development, and clearly, each enterprise will likely adopt the environment. But, the question is, how we can help you with it?
