Hello, I want to write this
blog after looking over some class activities again and seeing any questions to
review, but something caught my attention. I read the word
“microservices” in some class-work exercises; I got interested and
looked it up again. I found two links that helped me understand What are
microservices? And examples from Amazon company.

 

What are microservices? 

Microservices (microservice architecture) – is an
architectural method that structures an application as a collection of services
that are

  • Highly maintainable and testable
  • Loosely linked 
  • Individually deployable
  • Organized around business capabilities
  • Owned by a small team

The microservice architecture makes applications easier
to scale and faster to develop, enabling innovation and accelerating
time-to-market for new features to reduce complex applications. It even allows
an organization to evolve its technology stack.

The pattern language guide 

The microservice architecture isn’t perfect; It has
several problems. Moreover, when using this architecture, many issues must
address.

The microservice architecture pattern language is a set
of patterns for applying the microservice architecture. It has two goals:

  • The pattern language allows whether microservices are a good place for application.
  • The pattern language allows the microservice
    architecture favorably.

Characteristics of Microservices

  • Autonomous – Each element set in a
    microservices architecture can be developed, deployed, operated, and scaled
    without affecting the functioning of other benefits. Services don’t need to
    share any code or implementation with other services. Any connection between
    individual components happens through APIs. 
  • Specialized – Each service is designed
    for a collection of capabilities and focuses on solving a specific problem. 

Benefits of Microservices

  • Agility – promote an organization of small and
    independent teams that take ownership of their services. Groups work in a small
    and well-understood context and are allowed to work independently and fast. It
    helps to shorten construction cycle times. It benefits significantly from the
    throughput of the organization.
  • Flexible Scaling – Each service is to be
    independently scaled to meet the demand for its support application. It enables
    teams to support requirements, precisely measure the cost of a feature, and
    manage availability if a service experiences a spike in demand.
  • Easy Deployment – Enable continuous combination
    and delivery, helps try out new ideas, and rolls back if something doesn’t work.
    The low cost of failure enables experimentation to update code and stimulates
    time-to-market for new features.
  • Technological Freedom – It doesn’t follow a
    “one size fits all” plan. Teams have chosen the best tool to solve
    specific problems.
  • Reusable Code – Dividing software into small
    modules, which enables teams to use functions for multiple purposes.
  • Resilience – Service independence increases an
    application’s stand to failure. With microservices, applications handle
    complete service failure by discrediting functionality and not crashing the
    entire application.

Week-6

Hello, I want to write this blog after finishing my exam like an hour ago; I am looking over some class activities and see any questions to review, but something that sometimes confused me. I read the word “docker-compose” in some class-work exercises; I got interested and looked it up again. I found two links that helped me understand what Docker Compose does and how you use Docker Compose?.

Docker Compose: Run multiple containers as a single service or extend many different Docker containers midway. Even an essential tool for any application that needs various micro-services, as it allows each service to be in a separately managed container easily.

What Does Docker Compose Do?

Docker containers are running applications in an isolated environment. Its application deployments are arranged in Docker for the benefit. However, it’s often complex as running a single container. Usually, Many containers come together to act as one service made up of many changing parts.

Running all deployment time is disordered, so Docker provides Docker Compose; it runs multiple containers to clean it up. It helps all arrangements in one YAML file and starts all the containers with one 

command.

Rather than having all services in one big container, Docker Compose allows to split them up into individually manageable containers. This is better for building and deployment, and it can manage all of them in separate codebases and doesn’t need to start each container manually.

Using Docker Compose is a three-step process:

  • Build the part images using their Dockerfiles, or pull them from a registry.
  • Set all of the component services in a docker-compose.yml file.
  • Run all of them together using the docker-compose CLI.

Docker Compose still builds and publishes Docker containers using a Dockerfile. But, instead of running them directly, it can use Docker Compose to manage the configuration of a multi-container deployment.

How Do You Use Docker Compose?

The form for a docker-compose file is done in docker-compose.yml. It doesn’t need to place this at the root of a project like a Dockerfile. It can go anywhere as it doesn’t depend on any other code. However, it builds the images locally and will need to go into a project folder with the produced code.

A Compose configuration file that runs a WordPress instance using the WordPress container off the Docker Hub. However, this depends on a MySQL database, which Composes also creates.

  • First, a version number since the arrangement can change depending on which version.
  • Next, A list of Services. 
  • Lastly, the volumes are stored.
