Microservices example

Broadly speaking, there are two types of microservices: Stateless microservices. Stateful microservices.

In the proposed architecture, CDN components are designed as sets of microservices which interact via RESTFul Web services and are provisioned as Virtual Network Functions (VNFs), which are deployed and orchestrated on-the-fly.

Using the 12-Factor Approach for Microservices

The key benefits are: 1) isolation of responsibility – simpler to build and maintain microservice code; 2) fault isolation – any microservice can crash and restart without causing a service outage; and, 3) fine grain scaling – each service can scale independently and rapidly.3 Eki 2017

Microservices – also known as the microservice architecture – is an architectural style that structures an application as a collection of services that are . Highly maintainable and testable . Loosely coupled . Independently deployable . Organized around business capabilities .

Each component service in a microservices architecture can be developed, deployed, operated, and scaled without affecting the functioning of other services . Services do not need to share any of their code or implementation with other services.
