Microservices Not Monoliths - Using PaaS to Enable a Microservices Architecture

Preview:

DESCRIPTION

Cloud computing requires a new approach to the application development process. Rapid software delivery is a critical factor for success--companies need to focus on streamlining and removing the friction. In order to meet the fast pace of innovation enabled by cloud computing, a microservices approach to application design has emerged. With a microservices architecture, the application is comprised of a number of small, independent composable services. Each microservice is focussed on an individual targeted business capability and has no effect on the other services, allowing each microservice toRegister for the Stackato Webinar: Microservices not Monoliths be deployed, scaled, and managed independently. This new approach is in contrast to the more traditional 3-tier architecture style of application development. Around for decades, this traditional approach required the entire application to be redeployed if any change was made to one of the tiers, and needed to be supported by a large product team. Join ActiveState Technology Evangelists, John Wetherill and Phil Whelan, as they discuss: What are microservices? Comparing microservices with traditional monolithic applications Benefits and pitfalls of adopting microservices Architecture practices and techniques essential for microservices adoption How the DevOps culture enables success Lessons learned by corporations who have adopted microservices The relationship between PaaS and microservices Stackato features that enable microservices http://www.activestate.com/webinars/using-paas-enable-microservices-architecture

Monoliths

activestate.com/stackato | @activestate | #stackato | activestate.com/blog | Copyright 2014

Monoliths

Monolithic Applications

●Complexity is internal

●Multiple large and coordinating teams

●Huge codebases packaged as single .war file

●Easier in short term to get code out the door

●Long complex release and deploy cycles
