Creating distributed applications using microservices is exciting but not easy. The microservice architecture has its own set of adversities such as limited portability between the cloud and Edge, tightly controlled feature sets, and limited language support in the programming runtime. All these things make it difficult to build distributed applications using microservices. To resolve this […]

Moving away from monoliths towards self-contained systems
As monoliths grew, so did the complexities with them, the idea behind self-contained systems was to break these mammoth-sized monoliths into small components that are self-contained. These small systems collaborate to make a complete, logical autonomous unit. The independent nature of self-contained systems is their greatest win over. If one SCS fails, the other SCSs […]
Is your DevOps slow? There could be a problem.
What is the ultimate goal of any organization? To speed up the delivery lifecycle and achieve its utmost benefits keeping users in mind. DevOps as an approach not only reduces the time of delivery with its CI/CD pipeline; It also inculcates a team culture, wherein the people are considered on top of anything else when […]
Micro Frontends: Extending Microservices to Front-end Development
When Micro Frontends (or Microservices Frontends) was introduced in Thoughtworks Technology Radar in the year 2016, it was not a new concept. Companies were already using microservices on the backend level for developing web apps. This allowed them to break the entire web app into small modules where each team independently worked on a separate […]
5 Things to Consider Before You Switch to Microservices Transformation
Over 63% of organizations are using microservices – a global survey by Camunda reveals. The statistics make it clear that microservices are becoming mainstream. Also, the majority of companies are adopting microservices architecture to achieve significant results. While microservices have created a buzz around, organizations are thoughtlessly adopting their practices. It is true that microservices […]
Containers and their Orchestration using Docker & Kubernetes
As apps grew bigger, product development became complex. Companies began adopting approaches like microservice architecture for developing bigger applications. However, deploying apps faster was still a challenge. So, companies had to look for ways to streamline the deployment process so they could deploy their applications faster. Hence, the concept of containers was introduced. In this […]
Understanding the Event-driven Architecture
Varied approaches have appeared recently in computing like big data, serverless, microservice architecture, event-driven architecture, etc. Companies like Netflix and its contemporaries are using these approaches. For their application development, Microservice architecture plays a major role. But how do they benefit from microservice architecture if the services are not wired? How a single microservice can […]
Microservice Orchestration Vs Choreography
The microservice architecture is a collection of small services with each service having a specific function. These service modules can’t perform well in isolation and need some kind of medium so that they interact and share data. This leads us into one question: How to stitch these service modules together? There are two ways to […]
Microservice Architecture: An Independent Approach to Software Development
Skepticism by communities in software development dismisses Microservices architecture as nothing new, just an overhaul of the old SOA (service-oriented architecture). Despite all the uncertainties, microservices architecture pattern has emerged with a great amount of gratification to the enterprises – when it comes to enabling agile development and delivering complex enterprise solutions. According to a […]
5 reasons why companies are moving to Microservices Architecture
The microservice architecture is like a honeycomb. “Have you ever seen a honeycomb?” Well, not from close. From far off even, we can visualize the hexagonal paradigm of wax cells. Although honeycomb starts small, over a period of time we can see a strong fabric. Similarly, you can think of the microservice architecture approach in […]
Kong – A must have API management solution
Integration of APIs during development is not a new venture. APIs augments innovation and unlocks new business opportunities. Tech giants, for example, eBay, Netflix, Expedia, mobile.de, etc., have jumped on API bandwagon to ensure the continuity of development models. Now, a number of vendors, for example, IBM, Oracle, or MuleSoft, offer API management solutions while […]
