Microservices Architecture Patterns and Best Practices

Jayant Thomas (JT), Sr. Engg Mgr & Victor Mastkiv, Sr. Architect, GE Software

Building Applications using Microservices Architecture, an approach to developing a single application as a suite of small services, each running in its own process, having its own storage and communicating with lightweight mechanisms such as HTTP based RESTful API, possess its own challenges and requires us to reevaluate the patterns and methodologies to application development. For example services have to interact with other services using service API’s to derive dependent information, which in case of a monolith application could be accomplished by a simple SQL join query. This session delves into Microservices patterns such as API Gateway pattern, API Caching Pattern, Concurrency and Service Orchestration patterns and provides working illustration of each of these patterns with appropriate real world use case. Along the way we will cover the lessons learned and closeout with a recommended best practices for building a successful Microservices based application
