Database integration and continuous integration and deployment
Database integration and continuous integration/continuous deployment (CI/CD) are critical aspects of a microservices architecture. They ensure that data is managed effectively and that changes to microservices are deployed efficiently and reliably.
Database integration
In a microservices architecture, each microservice typically has its own database or data store. This separation of data is known as database per service.
Here are some key considerations for database integration in microservices:
- Data consistency: To ensure data consistency, three approaches are commonly used – two-phase commits, distributed transactions, and eventual consistency:
- Two-phase commits: Two-phase commit (2PC) is a protocol that ensures atomicity and consistency in distributed transactions. It involves coordinating multiple participants or resources to decide whether to commit or abort a transaction. The protocol consists...
