Micro ervices
to the rescue….By Source, Fair use, https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?curid=45003610

9. Is Microservices the new Hype?

11. Let’s start at the very beginning
“Even though the UNIX system introduces a number of innovative programs and
techniques, no single program or idea makes it work well. Instead, what makes it
effective is the approach to programming, a philosophy of using the computer.
Although that philosophy can’t be written down in a single sentence, at its heart is the
idea that the power of a system comes more from the
relationships among programs than from the
programs themselves. Many UNIX programs do quite trivial things in
isolation, but, combined with other programs, become general and useful tools.”
– Brian Kernighan and Rob Pike, The UNIX Programming Environment
11

12. Let’s start at the very beginning
Write programs that do one
thing and do it well. Write
programs to work together. Write
programs to handle text streams, because that is a universal interface.
- Doug McIlroy, the inventor of Unix pipes

13. Whatever that means...

14. 14
So the secret ingredient is?
…..Data

15. Flow Based Programming….
15

16. Flow Based Programming….
16
Flow-based programming (FBP) is a programming
paradigm that defines applications as networks of
"black box" processes, which exchange data across
predefined connections by message passing, where
the connections are specified externally to the
processes.

17. Microservices in the wild….

● Intents
● Activities
● Services
● Broadcast Receivers
● Listeners

19. Just give me a definition, will ya!
The microservice 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. - James Lewis & Martin Fowler

20. Isn’t that what SOA is?

Yes
NO!
Maybe
