Microservices AntiPatterns and Pitfalls

About the book

Remember when everyone was talking about service-oriented architecture (SOA)? Companies jumped into SOA before they fully understood its pros and cons, and they had a hard time making this complex architecture work. With microservices, we’re about to go through the same thing again, but this time we’re ready. In this short ebook, Mark Richards walks you through the ten most common microservice anti-patterns and pitfalls in this short ebook and shows you how to avoid them.

How are anti-patterns and pitfalls different from each other? When you start, an anti-pattern seems like a good idea, but it only gets you into trouble. On the other hand, pitfalls are bad ideas from the beginning. Before you deal with microservice granularity, data migration, and distributed processing, you should learn how to avoid the most obvious anti-patterns and traps.

You’ll examine:

• Data-Driven Migration Anti-Pattern
• Timeout Anti-Pattern
• “I Was Taught to Share” Anti-Pattern
• Reach-in Reporting Anti-Pattern
• Grains of Sand Pitfall
• Developer Without a Cause Pitfall
• Jump On The Bandwagon Pitfall
• Static Contract Pitfall
• Are We There Yet Pitfall
• Give it a Rest Pitfall
