Download as PPTX, PDF0 likes79 views
The document provides an agenda for building a mobile app with a microservices backend. It begins with an introduction to microservices architecture and why mobile apps are important. It then discusses the differences between monolithic and microservices architectures. Specifically, it notes that monoliths can be difficult to scale and update, while microservices allow for greater autonomy, scalability, and flexibility. The document also covers enabling technologies like Docker and Kubernetes that help manage microservices deployments. Finally, it references a GitHub repository for a hands-on lab to build a mobile app with a microservices backend.

- 5. 5 Monolith: Problems • Difficult to achieve operational agility o Huge and intimidating code base for developers o Long lead times for releasing new functionality because involves people with all skills coming together Redeploy entire unit to change one (sub) component Refactoring take minutes, builds take hours, testing in Continuous Integration takes days o Interrupts long running background (e.g. Quartz) jobs o Increase risk of failure • Single development stack - limits right tool for the job • Convoluted database model • Scaling is often a challenge o Running a copy of the whole system is resource-intense o Doesn’t scale with data out-of-the-box

Editor's Notes
- #5: Traditionally, enterprise Applications are built in three parts: a database (consisting of many tables usually in a relational database management system), a client-side user interface (consisting of HTML pages and/or JavaScript running in a browser), and a server-side application. This server-side application will handle HTTP requests, execute some domain specific logic, retrieve and update data from the database, and populate the HTML views to be sent to the browser. It is a monolith – a single logical executable. To make any alterations to the system, a developer must build and deploy an updated version of the server-side application. Yet it is simple to develop, test and deploy. Though comes at a cost, simple to scale as well
- #6: And they come with many problems Huge code base, long lead times for releasing new functionality because involves people with various skills collaborate. Deploy / release entire unit for even smallest of the changes Refactoring takes minutes and builds take hours. Testing in CI takes days Interrupts long running background jobs Increases risk of failure Built with a single development stack limiting right tool to be used for the job. Very complex data model with lots of relations / FKs Scaling is often a challenge (entire system has to be scaled together and hence resource-intense).
- #7: Introduced around 2012, it has steadily gained in popularity. But what are microservices and what are the pros and cons of adopting them? At its most basic level, the term “microservices” denotes a style of software architecture with applications broken out into smaller autonomous services. It takes the programming concept of breaking out functionality into different classes or libraries and moves that to the service level. The monolith is instead disassembled into a set of independent services that are developed, deployed and maintained separately.
