Production best practices
The final aspect of the microservice architectures that we will look at is some best practices when it comes to deployment and release. As we previously mentioned, the release pipelines should be automated to make it feasible for teams to release service multiple times a day. In this section, we will briefly explore some common patterns and solutions to consider when migrating to microservice architectures.
Monitoring and observability
In the microservices world, it can be difficult to have an understanding of how data travels through the system and how healthy our system is. This is alleviated by monitoring and observability solutions, which give us the required visibility.
Observability versus monitoring
Observability and monitoring are often used interchangeably, but they have two different intended purposes: observability aims to give teams access to data they need to debug problems, while monitoring aims to track performance and identify...
