SW Architecture in the Context of History

Concepts: WHAT ARE MICRO-SERVICERS?
The Micro-Service architectural style 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.

Concepts: SERVICE ORENTED ARCHITECTURE (SOA)?
Classic SOA
•Integrates different
applications as a set
of services
Microservices
•Architect a single
application as a set
of services
Yes, it’s SOA … but different implementation approach

Concepts: CLASSIC SOA vs MICROSERVICE
Classic SOA
• Integrates different applications as a
set of services
Typical implementation solution
• Heavy-weight
• Orchestration
• ESB
• WS*/SOAP
• License-driven
• Intelligent Communication Layer
Target Problem
• Integrate (Legacy) Software

Concepts: CLASSIC SOA vs MICROSERVICE
MICROSERVICE
• Architect a single application as a set
of services
Typical implementation solution
• Light-weight
• Choreography
• HTTP/REST/JSON
• Intelligent Services
• Dumb Communication Layer
Target Problem
• Architect new Business Platform

WHY: EVOLUTION OF SOFTWARE ARCHITECTURE

WHY: FROM MONOLITHIC TO CLOUD

WHY: THE CURSE OF THE MONOLITH
Simple to Develop Simple to Deploy Simple to Scale

Hard to understand
and modify
Overloaded IDE
Overloaded
Web Container
• Large Code Intimidates Developers
Development
Slows Down

• Small Change - Big Impact
Any change requires full
rebuild, test and deploy
Impact analysis is huge effort
and takes long
Obstacle for frequent
changes and deployments

• Big Risk for Re-Write
No hard module boundaries
Quality and Modularity breaks down over
time this enforces eventual need for re-write
Long term commitment to technology stack
Change or try-out new technology implies re-
write
Re-write = complete re-write
No partial re-write

• Little Resilience to Failure
Failure in monolith brings it down

• Scaling can be difficult
Mostly Horizontal scaling many load
balanced instances
Hard to scale to data growth cope with
all data
Different components have different
resource needs
Scaling development implies
coordination overhead

WHY: TYPES OF SCALING
• The Scale Cube

V1
V2
Re-write a service in 2-3 weeks

WHY: ARCHITECTURAL BENEFITS
Small and focused on 1
capability
•Easier to understand
•IDE and deployment faster for 1
service
Independent
•Release and deployment
•Scaling
•Development
Loosely Coupled
•Through lightweight
communication
Fault Isolation vs bring all
down.
Allows try-out of new
technologies.
Re-write can be limited to
1 service
•Impact Analysis stops at
boundary
Provide firm module
boundaries with explicit
interface!
•Less risk on re-write
•Harder to violate boundary in
development
Decentralized
choreography
•vs central orchestration
•vs central point of failure
Decentralized data
•Polyglot persistence

WHY: ARCHITECTURE EVOLUTION
1 - Key (business) drivers guide architectural decisions
• Micro-services are organized around business capabilities
2 - Postpone decisions to Last Responsible Moment
• Micro-services allow delay of scaling and technological decisions
3 - Architect and develop for Evolvability
• Micro-services support evolution in technology, scaling, and features

Benefits
 Domain modules can migrate
independently to next version!
 Database schema is internal to
the domain bundle, i.e. NOT
part of the API!
 Persistence and/or database
technology can differ between
modules in one system!

CONCLUSION
Advantages of Microservice Architecture
• Each micro service is small and focused on a specific feature / business requirement.
• Microservice can be developed independently by small team of developers (normally 2 to 5 developers).
• Microservice is loosely coupled, means services are independent, in terms of development and deployment both.
• Microservice can be developed using different programming language (Personally I don't suggest to do it).
• Microservice allows easy and flexible way to integrate automatic deployment with Continuous Integration tools (for
e.g: Jenkins, Hudson, bamboo etc..).
• The productivity of a new team member will be quick enough.
• Microservice is easy to understand, modify and maintain for a developer because separation of code,small team and
focused work.
• Microservice allows you to take advantage of emerging and latest technologies (framework, programming language ,
programming practice, etc.).
• Microservice has code for business logic only, No mixup with HTML,CSS or other UI component.
• Microservice is easy to scale based on demand.
• Microservice can deploy on commodity hardware or low / medium configuration servers.
• Easy to integrate 3rd party service.
• Every microservice has it's own storage capability but it depends on the project’s requirement, you can have common
database like MySQL or Oracle for all services.

CONCLUSION
Disadvantages of Microservice Architecture
• Microservice architecture brings a lot of operations overhead.
• DevOps Skill required (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/DevOps).
• Duplication of Effort.
• Distributed System is complicated to manage .
• Default to trace problem because of distributed deployment.
• Complicated to manage whole products when number of services increases.
