Our journey with Spring Boot in a microservice architecture
#1about 3 minutes
Defining key architecture goals for a microservices system
The open-closed principle, fault tolerance, technology diversity, and independent deployment are essential goals for a robust architecture.
#2about 3 minutes
Understanding the core principles of microservice architecture
Microservices decompose the business and persistence layers into small, independent services, each with its own data store.
#3about 4 minutes
Avoiding tight coupling from shared code and dependencies
Sharing interfaces or using a common parent POM creates tight coupling that breaks independent development and builds.
#4about 3 minutes
Managing shared libraries and API versioning effectively
Common functionality should be outsourced to versioned shared libraries, and service APIs must be versioned to prevent breaking changes.
#5about 3 minutes
Designing a single entry point for data objects
Using multiple communication channels for the same data object complicates maintenance, so a single entry point simplifies logic and conversion.
#6about 5 minutes
Mitigating temporal coupling with robust backup strategies
Reduce the impact of service failures caused by temporal coupling by implementing backup strategies like default values or disabling features.
#7about 2 minutes
Improving performance and resilience with local caching
Implementing a local data cache, such as Google Guava, reduces synchronous calls to other services and improves system resilience.
#8about 2 minutes
Achieving fault tolerance through scaling and redundancy
Use platforms like Kubernetes with health checks to automatically scale and replace faulty instances of stateless services for high availability.
#9about 5 minutes
Decoupling services using asynchronous communication patterns
Asynchronous communication via a message broker increases availability and fault tolerance but requires careful handling of redelivery and monitoring.
#10about 27 minutes
Adopting an iterative mindset for architecture evolution
Building a microservice architecture is an ongoing, iterative process that requires continuous improvement and an open-minded team culture.
