MicroServices An Introduction

What are Microservices?

Client, a leading Home Care service is committed to making its services available to their locality. Hiring a qualified care provider is not easy and is what most families are looking for. Home-care Service application could be the solution to this. Our client required a holistic app from finding to hiring and paying for care-taking services in a single application.

Features

Easy Deploy
Microservice architecture is built with multiple modules such that the modules can be updated, modified or deleted independently without affecting other service modules. This ensures reusability and in-dependency.

Distributed Broadcast
On the rule of distribution, the developing software tools are distributed to others to solve the data problems. Microservices offers decentralized data management. Each microservices have unique databases to modify, operate, deploy, and manage.

Low Cost
The scalability cost is low. Because every service uses separate modules hence it is easy to expand the data storage.

Heterogeneous
Easy to implement different kinds of technologies for variety of features in services.

Fault tolerance
In micro services environment different applications and services communicate with each other. If a service failure happens, the client can allocate another service to do their failed task.

Advantages of micro services

• Easy to scale and integrate with third-party services.
• No long-term commitment to technology stack.
• Better Fault Isolation. If any system fails other systems can work.
• If any error occurs in any system. It is easy to manage and deploy the single system, update the component easily.
• The developer has to include the new ideas in separate modules.
• Flexibility to implement a new technology.

Disadvantages of microservices

• It requires large memory space.
• It became a distributed environment testing is complicated.
• Information barrier is one of the fault due to increasing the number of services.
• Integration and management are questionable as the product is distributive in nature.
• Need additional attention from developers for updates and maintenance.

Conclusion

To summarize, Microservices is a variation of the traditional software development process that is split as a set of fine grained, loosely coupled services that supports easy deployment with less faults and comparatively at a lower cost, a win-win for all.
