Multiple container scenarios and their solutions
The scenarios in the previous chapter still hold true. You could still be starting with writing from scratch but have already planned to deploy multiple containers, or maybe you’re rearchitecting parts of an existing solution to run in containers. No matter which of the two scenarios you have chosen, there are some important technical aspects we need to take into account:
- How dependent are those multiple containers on other containers during runtime?
- Will those containers interact with each other, and if so, how?
- Are we concerned about latency between those containers?
These are some very good questions that are often forgotten. They’re not forgotten because they’re not important; they are forgotten because it doesn’t fit the mindset of traditional infrastructure and architecture. Let us explain why.
Having a greenfield scenario where you are writing a new solution from scratch sounds...
