Book Review: Microservices Architecture

This tiny little book

MicroServices architecture - Make the architecture of a software as simple as possible

gives you a nice overview about different architectural patterns used in the MicroServices world. This book is NOT an introduction of MicroServices - in fact it expects quite a bit knowledge about architecture and different technologies used in a MicroServices based system, e.g.: Docker, EC2, LoadBalancer, REST/HTTP …

Definitively a valuable book if you want to have a short discussion (including pros and cons) about the following patterns:

• Monolithic architecture
• API gateway MicroServices architecture
• Client-side service discovery
• Server-side service discovery
• Service registry
• 3rd party registry
• Self registration
• Single service instance per host
• Multiple service instances per host
• Service instance per VM
• Service instance per container
