What does a typical microservice architecture look like? The diagram below shows a typical microservice architecture.
🔹Load Balancer: This distributes incoming traffic across multiple backend services.
🔹CDN (Content Delivery Network): CDN is a group of geographically distributed servers that hold static content for faster delivery. The clients look for content in CDN first, then progress to backend services.
🔹API Gateway: This handles incoming requests and routes them to the relevant services. It talks to the identity provider and service discovery.
🔹Identity Provider: This handles authentication and authorization for users.
🔹Service Registry & Discovery: Microservice registration and discovery happen in this component, and the API gateway looks for relevant services in this component to talk to.
🔹Management: This component is responsible for monitoring the services.
🔹Microservices: Microservices are designed and deployed in different domains. Each domain has its database.
Over to you: 1). What are the drawbacks of the microservice architecture? 2). Have you seen a monolithic system be transformed into microservice architecture? How long does it take?
