Microservice components
In order to have fully functional microservice applications, the following components have to be used properly. These components help us to solve complex business logic distribution among services:
- Configuration server
- Load balancer
- Service discovery
- Circuit breaker
- Edge server
We will briefly discuss these components in this section.
Configuration server
A configuration server will help us store all configurable parameters for each service that will be deployed. These properties can be saved in a repository if needed. Also, the configuration server will give the option to change the configuration of our application without having to deploy the code. Once the configuration is changed, it will be automatically reflected on the fly, so we can avoid redeploying our services.
As we will have many services in our microservice application, having a configuration server will help us to avoid service redeployment, and the service can get the corresponding configuration from the server...
