Book Description
This book describes in contributions by scientists and practitioners the development of scientific concepts,technologies,engineering techniques and tools for a service-based society. The focus is on microservices,i.e cohesive,independent processes deployed in isolation and equipped with dedicated memory persistence tools,which interact via messages.
The book is structured in six parts. Part 1 “Opening” analyzes the new (and old) challenges including service design and specification,data integrity,and consistency management and provides the introductory information needed to successfully digest the remaining parts. Part 2 “Migration” discusses the issue of migration from monoliths to microservices and their loosely coupled architecture. Part 3 “Modeling” introduces a catalog and a taxonomy of the most common microservices anti-patterns and identifies common problems. It also explains the concept of RESTful conversations and presents insights from studying and developing two further modeling approaches. Next ,Part 4 is dedicated to various aspects of “Development and Deployment”. Part 5 then covers “Applications” of microservices,presenting case studies from Industry 4.0,Netflix,and customized SaaS examples. Eventually,Part 6 focuses on “Education” and reports on experiences made in special programs,both at academic level as a master program course and for practitioners in an industrial training.
As only a joint effort between academia and industry can lead to the release of modern paradigm-based programming languages,and subsequently to the deployment of robust and scalable software systems,the book mainly targets researchers in academia and industry who develop tools and applications for microservices.
