What are Microservices? Framework and Architecture Guide
Microservices are an architecture style used by many organizations for software development. There are a number of different ways to define microservices, but a common definition comes from Martin Fowler: "The microservice architectural style is an approach to developing a single application as a suite of small services. These services are built around business capabilities and are independently deployable." Fowler’s definition continues: "There is a bare minimum of centralized management of these services, which may be written in different programming languages."
How to Test a Microservice Architecture Application
If you are working in the testing domain, you probably have heard about microservices. Many organizations who have moved into modern DevOps practices are also investing in converting or building new projects into Microservice based architecture. Being a new technology, it comes with certain challenges, especially in the testing domain. Testers, especially web testers, are now figuring out new ways of automation testing approach in the world of microservices. Before digging deeper, let’s understand what is microservices.
The Principles of Planning and Implementing Microservices
Planning a microservices-based application — where to start? This architecture is composed of many aspects; how to break down this decoupled architecture? I hope that after reading this article, the picture will be clearer.
Cross-Cutting Concerns
Although we often think of microservices as completely independent and self-contained units, this isn’t always the case. Sometimes it’s more convenient to think at a system level and lose some of that autonomy.
