My microservices wiki

This contains my experiments and thoughts of microservices

What to consider when I build a microservice?

Here are the list of aspects from scratch

Architecture

• Microservice description (purpose, performance requirements, etc.)
• Web framework
• Horizontal scalability approach
• Service autodiscovery
• Frontend architecture
• Backend architecture
• Logs collection, parsing, storing, visualizing

Development

• Test framework, fake data, mocking
• Versioning API
• SQL DB, ORM and migrations
• Logging on frontend and backend, X-Request-Id
• Queue interface
• Background jobs
• REST client
• Caching
• Code coverage metrics
• Linters
• Autogenerated developer documentation
• API documenting

Deployment

• Host provisioning
• CI/CD
• Zero downtime deployment
• Canary testing

Maintenance

• Monitoring availability, performance, exceptions, metrics
• Fault tolerance
• Scaling
• Config management
• backups
