Chapter 8: Deploying Microservices
The literal meaning of deployment is to bring resources into effective action. Therefore, in the microservices context, it means to bring microservices into effective action. Any service deployment is a multi-step process and often involves building the artifacts and then pushing the artifacts to a runtime environment. In the microservices world, an effective strategy for microservices deployment is crucial. Essentially, we need to watch out for the following when planning a deployment process:
- Continue with the pattern of separation of concern and self-isolate the artifact-building process for each microservice.
- Decouple any connection requirements within microservices and let the service discovery or an implementation close to service discovery handle the microservice bindings.
- Implement a seamless deployment process that can handle instantiating all of the microservice application components in a unified and automated way.
