Production-ready microservice criteria

We are quickly going to summarize a production-ready microservice and its criteria:

• A production-ready to go microservice is reliable and stable for service requests:
• It follows a standard development cycle adhering to 12-factor app standards (recall Chapter 1, Debunking Microservices)
• Its code is thoroughly tested through linters, unit test cases, integration, contract, and E2E test cases
• It uses CI/CD pipelines and incremental build strategy
• There are either backups, alternatives, fallbacks, and cache in place in case of service failures
• It has stable service registration and discovery process as per standards

•  A production-ready to go microservice is scalable and highly available:
• It has auto scalability based on load coming at any time
• It utilizes hardware resources efficiently and does not block resource pool
• Its dependencies scale with the application
• Its traffic can be rerouted on a need basis
• It handles tasks and processes in a performant nonblocking and...
