Bizweb Microservices Model

Looking back, old stack• First line of code written in 2007• Bizweb released Mar, 2010• 8 Versions upgraded• Microsoft full stack• Stop upgraded Dec, 2014

Monolithic architecture

System problems• Outdated technology

• Un-stable system, un-flexible

• Difficult to scale

• Web Forms View Engine:• Stateful: 60K template folders• IIS precompile is too slow

12

Requirements• Minimum core functions

• Open API for third-party integration

• Only one business service for Web/API/Mobile

• New template engine

• Easy to scale (system scale, team scale)

• Only 6 month for development

13

Microservices Model

14

Advantages of microservices architecture• Each microservice is relatively small

• The IDE is faster making developers more productive• The web container starts faster, which makes developers more productive, and speeds up

deployments

• Each service can be developed and deployed independently

• Improves fault isolation

• Makes it easier for a new developer to understand the functionality of a service

• Easy to throw away

• Eliminates any long-term commitment to a technology stack

• Easy to scale

Microservices drawbacks

• Deploying microservices can be complex

• Multiple databases and transaction management can be painful

• Testing a microservices-based application can be cumbersome

• Developing distributed systems can be complex

Bizweb Microservices Architecture

Caching

4 levels of caches• 1st: Network level cache: caching in the browser, CDN, and

proxies• 2nd: Application caching: An in-memory, per server cache

• 3rd: Distributed in-memory key-value store. Share cache elements across different servers that serve the same site• 4th: Database Caching. The entire database is cached in-

memory. The entire thing

Frontend Caching

Frontend Caching• Serve gzip content• ETag and 304 Not Modified for dynamic content• Generational caching• No explicit expiry

Browser caching

HTTP ETag

HTTP Caching - ETag

Frontend Distributed Caching

Page output caching.

Frontend Distributed Caching• Full page caching• No explicit expiry (use LRU)• Redis• ETag cache key

Generational caching

Frontend caching

Assets Caching

Amazon S3Theme assets, images, files.

Amazon S3• Easy to use

• Flexible

• Reliable

• Scalable and high-performance

• Secure

• Low cost

Theme assets caching• Application in-memory caching • Redis• Explicit expiry
