Amplication·3yThe Complete Microservices Guide
Microservices have emerged as a popular architectural approach for designing and building software systems for several compelling reasons and advantages. It is a design approach that involves dividing applications into multiple distinct and independent services called "microservices" Microservices are naturally distributed services as each service is isolated from the others and runs in its own instance.
Community Picks·3yDeath by a thousand microservices
There is no standard tooling for microservices-based development - there is no common framework. Working on distributed systems has gotten only marginally easier in 2020s. The Dockers and the Kuberneteses of the world did not magically take away the inherent complexity of a distributed setup.
David Heinemeier Hansson·3yEven Amazon can't make sense of serverless or microservices
The Prime Video team at Amazon has published a rather remarkable case study on their decision to dump their serverless, microservices architecture and replace it with a monolith instead. This move saved them a staggering 90% on operating costs, and simplified the system too. But beyond celebrating their good sense, I think there's a bigger point here.

Web Application Architecture is an underlying web application architecture that makes this process possible. Choosing the right design defines your company growth, reliability and interoperability and future IT needs. A web app architecture presents a layout with all the software components (such as databases, applications and middleware) and how they interact with each other.

The Evolution of Frontend Architecture is a talk about the evolution of frontend architecture. Ruben Casas is a Staff Engineer at Postman and a master's degree in internet and distributed systems. He says the talk will give you a lot of the tools to identify how to move away from a monolith into more distributed architecture.
Amplication·3yPicking the Perfect Database for Your Microservices
Microservices have been the go-to application architecture that many software projects have adopted. Microservices favour independent service components where each service can run on its own runtime and connect to its own database. This means you're encouraged to share data between microservices rather than using an extensive single database for all your microservices.
Redis·3yMicroservice Architecture Key Concepts
Microservice architecture allows for independent, autonomous software development teams to manage, test, and deploy uncoupled services. It enables scalability, faster updates, and flexible release cycles. Microservices communicate via APIs and messages, and security should be a top priority.

In order to create a safe, easy-to-maintain and high-performance application in 2021, you need to learn more about software architecture. This article is meant to serve as an introduction to the topic of software architecture in 2021 for CTOs.
David Heinemeier Hansson·3yHow to recover from microservices
The worst form of microservices madness is when you splinter a single, coherent flow across multiple systems. When microservices are done right, they often target a narrow, isolated, and usually performance-critical segment of the system. The vast majority of systems should have no more than two backend languages in play at any one time.
Amplication·3yCommunication in a Microservice Architecture
Microservices architecture is a software system architecture that is designed as a collection of loosely coupled independent services. Each service is responsible for its data and logical model in a microservices architecture. Amplication is an open-source, easy-to-use development tool that can help you easily create robust and scalable microservices.

Helios Helios is an observability tool that plays a crucial role in scaling microservices. It provides real-time visibility and insights into the performance and health of the system. Helios supports distributed tracing to help you understand the flow of requests across different microservices in your application.
Amplication·3yMonoliths to Microservices using the Strangler Pattern
Strangler Pattern is a software design pattern used to refactor monolithic applications to microservices. It helps developers replace parts of the monolith with new and improved components while maintaining the same functionality. The Strangler Pattern uses a wrapper to integrate the microservices with the monolithic.

DZone·3yIs It Time To Go Back to the Monolith?
The post discusses the concept of modern modular monoliths and how they redefine the monolithic architecture. It explores the limitations and benefits of using a monolith instead of microservices, highlighting the potential for better scalability and simplified architecture.
Community Picks·3yGetting Used To Microservices
Microservices have built their software as many separate services, communicating through well-defined networked interfaces. With the service-based design, - The data is all over the place; - It is difficult to diagnose functionality that spans many services. - Refactoring system design becomes expensive; and - There is dead code nobody knows is dead.

The Archipelago architecture strikes a balance between monolithic and microservices architectures. It allows for independent scaling, offers separation of concerns, and reduces network load. However, managing multiple deployment units and possible over-segmentation are potential challenges.
InfoQ·3yThe False Dichotomy of Monolith vs. Microservices
Microservices are not the cause of complexity, but the cure to it. They come with costs and benefits, and the fear of microservices may stem from hype and perceived complexity. Microservices can help manage complexity by breaking it into smaller, more manageable parts. The choice between monolith and microservices is not binary, but rather a spectrum of possibilities. It's important to find the right-sized services for your situation and be open to change and experimentation.
