Microservice Migration
About MicroServices
Microservices - also known as the microservice architecture - is an architectural style that structures an application as a collection of services that are.
The microservice architecture enables the rapid, frequent and reliable delivery of large, complex applications. It also enables an organization to evolve its technology stack.
- Planet Scale
- Never Outgrow
- Run Anywhere
Why MicroServices
Highly maintainable and testable
- Continuous delivery - Microservices provide the ideal architecture for continuous delivery. With microservices, each application resides in a separate container along with the environment it needs to run.
- Maximize deployment velocity - Microservice architecture allows you to maximize deployment velocity and application reliability by helping you move at the speed of the market.
- Faster innovation to adapt to changing market conditions - Microservices can also help you adapt more quickly to the changing market conditions. Because microservices allow applications to be updated and tested quickly, you can follow market trends and adapt your products faster.
- Codebase - One codebase tracked in revision control, many deploys
- Dev/prod parity - Keep development, staging, and production as similar as possible

Where is MicroServices Useful?
- Netflix - Netflix made the decision to break their monolith into microservices back in 2009, when their struggles with a monolithic architecture was causing the tech giant to experience growing pains as well as regular server outages.
- Amazon - Today, Amazon is perhaps the world’s most prominent advocate of microservices, with Amazon Web Services (AWS) providing the infrastructure needed for companies to launch and manage containers and microservices on the fly.
- Uber - Uber’s unified and tightly coupled codebase delivered many, if not all, of Uber’s core business processes, including connecting drivers with riders, billing, and payments.
- SoundCloud - In dealing with the challenge of scaling a large social network with a media distribution capability, SoundCloud decided to build their own microservices in Scala, Clojure, and Ruby.
