The Twelve-Factor App methodology
The Twelve-Factor App methodology is a widely accepted methodology that defines a set of principles and best practices that software developers should follow to design and build modern cloud-native applications. In essence, cloud-native applications should be portable, scalable, and fast to deploy.
The following is a quick examination of the factors that make up the Twelve-Factor App methodology:
- Code base: Have one code base tracked in revision control, and many deploys. This factor mandates having a single code base or source code repository for each service or microservice of your application. In GitHub, GitLab, Bitbucket, or whichever source code repository you use in your project, you should create a dedicated repository for each microservice. This gives you flexibility and full control over each microservice, so the team assigned to build that microservice can do any updates or deployment without impacting other teams working with...
