microservices


the problem

One of the key principles of DevOps is to increase the number of feedback loops. However, for large companies with monolithic code bases, this becomes extremely challenging.

 

As the software applications evolve, it becomes very hard to maintain and scale them. Continuous Integration and Continuous delivery fail miserably as even a small change in the software application take dangerously long times to build and deploy. As a result, the frequency of release deployments shorten.


our solution

Adopting micro services architecture helps solve many of these problems. Some of the benefits of this approach are outlined below:

  • Agility
    Any change to the software application can be implemented rapidly thus reducing the deployment time.
  • Developer productivity
    For new developers on-board, it becomes easy to understand the functionality of specific service(s) and come up to speed as quickly as possible.
  • Scalability
    With micro services based architecture, an application can easily be scaled both horizontally and vertically.
  • Operational efficiency
    Deliver new products and services faster with fewer resources.
  • Security
    Security monitoring is simplified as various parts of an application are isolated into services.
  • Technology Diversity
    Organizations have the flexibility to use multiple languages and development frameworks for their services.
  • Resiliency
    As the software application functionality is dispersed into various services, failure in one service does not impact the other.
  • Revenue
    Faster delivery and reduced application downtime can result in increased revenues.

 

Containerization meets all of the requirements of micro services. We have partnered with Docker, world's leading containerization platform. Docker provides some of the key tools to go DevOps and improve application development process.
