In this blog series, we'll explore microservices: from modeling to splitting the monolith, communication styles, CI/CD, and effective testing strategies. Join us for an enlightening journey!
Spring Config Server tackles the configuration management challenge in microservices architecture by centralizing and externalizing configuration properties for various microservices. This solution simplifies the management and synchronization of con...
In the past few months, I've had a lot of discussions with fellow tech leaders but also friends who work in tech. All of them encounter different challenges in their daily work. However, some stuff stands out and I have this idea to create a story wi...
19th of July, Friday morning's events serve as a stark reminder of the critical importance of best practices and quality standards. CrowdStrike, a leading cybersecurity company valued at around $80B, had a huge outage because of a failed global softw...
I've genuinely tried to extract the best from SCRUM, be it trying Scrum by the book, or mixing it with a sprinkle of Kanban. It is just not proving to me that it does what it says it does... I know this topic is widely debated, and many other tech le...
Achieving operational excellence is a goal many organizations strive for. This pursuit often leads to the adoption of methodologies designed to streamline processes, boost efficiency, and enhance productivity. Among these, Continuous Delivery and LEA...
This will be fun! Let's start with something I experienced not too long ago. Imagine you're working on a crucial project with tight deadlines. You're heavily relying on an online collaboration tool. Suddenly, there's a server outage. But instead of c...
Software products with distinct, interchangeable components or modules. Each module serves a specific functional role and can be developed, updated, or replaced independently.
Parallelly, Modular Software Architecture structures software as a collection of independent modules. Within this realm, Microservices is a specialized approach where applications are built as a suite of small services, each running its process and communicating via lightweight mechanisms.
Enhanced Adaptability: As Modular Product Architecture enables components to be interchangeable, Microservices provide the software aspect of this adaptability. This ensures that as a product evolves, both its hardware and software can adapt without extensive reengineering.
Streamlined Development: Both approaches facilitate parallel development. Different teams can work on different hardware components, software modules, or microservices simultaneously, resulting in a more streamlined and efficient development process.
Fault Isolation: In a microservices architecture, if one service fails, it doesn’t bring the whole system down. Similarly, in Modular Product Architecture, a fault in one module can be isolated and fixed without affecting the entire product.
Customization and Scalability: Modular Product Architecture allows for hardware customization, while Microservices can be easily scaled to handle increased loads or adapted for new functionalities. Together, they allow products to be tailored and scaled according to changing market demands.
Maintenance and Upgrades: With the decoupling of concerns, both in hardware and software, maintenance and upgrades become less cumbersome. Individual modules and services can be updated or replaced without significant downtime.
Technological Flexibility: Microservices allow for using different technologies and languages for different services. This polyglot approach enables teams to choose the best technology for the service they are building.
Sustainability and Longevity: By allowing components and services to be updated independently, this combined approach can extend the lifespan of products. This not only has economic benefits but also contributes to sustainability by reducing waste.
In conclusion, the combination of Modular Product Architecture with Microservices is a powerful one, offering enhanced adaptability, streamlined development, and greater sustainability. For businesses looking to stay agile and responsive to market demands, this synergy can be a key differentiator.
