Microservices makes it easier to build and maintain applications when they are broken down into several parts. Explore past and present architectures for microservices, including components, design patterns, and inter-process communication.

Learning Objectives

Building Microservice Architecture

  • start the course
  • define a service and its purpose in a service oriented architecture (SOA)
  • identify microservices and its advantages
  • distinguish the architecture behind microservices
  • recognize various microservice processes
  • demonstrate microservices from use cases

Traditional Microservices

  • identify various early versions of microservices
  • define the monolithic approach and the differences of using monolithic over SOA
  • recognize the benefits and costs of SOA
  • distinguish concepts in implementations of SOA
  • recognize early approaches including EAI and CORBA and SOAP

Microservice Patterns

  • describe the process of event-driven architecture with event sourcing
  • describe the Command Query Responsibility Segregation and how to implement queries in a microservice architecture
  • describe various design patterns for microservice-based architectures
  • recognize SOA concepts with Dev Ops and continuous deployment and delivery
  • define dependencies in microservices
  • compare the differences between using modules and services

Microservice Communication

  • compare the importance of cohesion and coupling microservices
  • define the various communication processes including Direct Client-to-Microservices communication and API Gateway
  • recognize concepts in building IPC

Practice: Microservice Architecture

  • recognize the various approaches to microservice architecture from past to present
