It is basically a virtual storage area network where tasks can be started. It can tolerate faults easily and users need not worry about the loss of data even in case the disk damages in the RAID. Provisioning and allocating the storage can also be done in Elastic Block Storage. If required, it can also be connected to the API

For security, there are some of the best options available in Lambda. One can use Identity Access and Management. This would be beneficial when it comes to controlling access to resources. Privilege is another option that basically opens up the permissions. Access can be restricted to hosts that are not trusted or unauthorized. There are rules in the security group that can be reviewed with time to keep up the pace simply.

For Instance, there are several storage options provided by Amazon and the best thing is every option is best in terms of durability as well as performance. In case you want to use them in combination, there is not a problem. Independent access is also available. The first storage is EBS which is actually block-level storage. It comes with an encryption feature and is a good option to consider when independent storage is required.
The next type is the EC2 Instance store which is directly connected to the host PC as a storage disk. For temporary needs, it is a good option to consider. The data on this storage remains valid only when the instance is valid. If the same is deleted, data will also be gone. Another storage type is “Adding Storageâ€. When the root storage device is created, an instance is launched. It generally contains information related to boot Instance.
The Amazon S3 is another option available for storage which is known to be an inexpensive option and can store any amount of data.

It is basically a feature in the Amazon Web Services that simply enables you to automatically configure and spin the novel instances. The good thing is there is no need for you to interfere at any stage. However, users can monitor everything through metrics and thresholds. To enable this task, you simply need to cross a threshold and you can see without any interference, the instances have scaled horizontally.

It stands for Amazon Machine Image and many times it is used in processed that is based on Lambda or even in conjunction with the same. Basically, it’s a template that contains an application server, OS, or other applications. It is possible to create its copy in the cloud. It has several instances and running multiple instances is also possible. AMI can also run a virtual server in a cloud.

The deployment scenario becomes complex when there are database changes during the upgrade. There can be two different scenarios: 1. database change is backward compatible (e.g. adding a new table column) 2. database change is not compatible with an older version of the application (e.g. renaming an existing table column)
1. Backward compatible change: This scenario is easy to implement and can be fully automated using Flyway. We can add the script to create a new column and the script will be executed at the time of deployment. Now during blue/green deployment, two versions of the application (say v1 and v2) will be connected to the same database. We need to make sure that the newly added columns allow null values (btw that’s part of the backward compatible change). If everything goes well, then we can switch off the older version v1, else application v2 can be taken off.
2. Non-compatible database change: This is a tricky scenario, and may require manual intervention in-case of rollback. Let's say we want to rename first_name column to fname in the database. Instead of directly renaming, we can create a new column fname and copy all existing values of first_name into fname column, keeping the first_name column as it is in the database. We can defer non-null checks on fname to post-deployment success. If the deployment goes successful, we need to migrate data written to first_name by v1 to the new column (fname) manually after bringing down the v1. If the deployment fails for v2, then we need to do the otherwise.

There are certain reasons for this. The one is it’s possible to simply store everything in the local server memory. Also, data can be stored directly into the database without affecting the performance. In addition to this, testing is not much complicated. Integration testing can simply be made powerful through multiple vendors.

Well, everything has its own pros and cons depending on the work we perform through it. When it comes to the serverless approach, the fact is applicable here too. In a few cases, there is a strict upper limit on vendor control in a serverless approach and this clearly means more downtime and thus losses. The loss of functionality and system limits are the other issues. Also, there is no dedicated hardware available for the serverless approach. Thus performance and security become challenges at several stages. Sometimes customer errors can also create problems. The new deployment, as well as monitoring tools, become the only option when it comes to switching to Google Cloud functions.

The very first thing about this approach is simple operations which mean quick time to market and better sales. Users only need to pay when the code is running and thus a lot o cost can simply be saved which enhances profits. Also, managing the larger application components is not a big deal. In addition to this, there is no need to have the additional infrastructure. The biggest thing is users need not worry about the servers on which the code runs.

There are several frameworks and serverless is extremely powerful. Its great support to Lambda and open whisk, as well as azure functions, makes it simply the best in every aspect. When it comes to extending the cloud formation, the Serverless Application Model can easily be considered. Scripting the changes to API becomes extremely simple with this approach and the best thing is the task is very quick and reliable.

1. You must use asynchronous communication while handling HTTP POST/PUT (anything that modifies the data) requests, using some reliable queue mechanism (RabbitMQ, AMQP, etc.)
2. It's fine to use synchronous communication for Aggregation pattern at API Gateway Level. But this aggregation should not include any business logic other than aggregation. Data values must not be transformed at Aggregator, otherwise, it defeats the purpose of Bounded Context. In Asynchronous communication, events should be published into a Queue. Events contain data about the domain, it should not tell what to do (action) on this data.
3. If microservice to microservice communication still requires synchronous communication for GET operation, then seriously reconsider the partitioning of your microservices for bounded context, and create some tasks in backlog/technical debt.

Microservices architecture is meant for developing large distributed systems that scale with safely. There are many benefits of microservices architecture over monoliths, for example:
Monolith application is built as a single unit, it is usually composed of 3 components – a database (usually a RDBMS), a server-side executable (war file deployed in tomcat, websphere etc) and a client interface (JSP, etc.)
Whenever we want to add/update functionality, developers need to change at least one of these three components and deploy the new version to production. The entire system is tightly coupled, have limitations in choosing technology stack, have low cohesion.
When we need to scale a monolith, we deploy the same version of the monolith on multiple machines, by copying the big war/ear file again and again. Everything is contained into a single executable file.
Microservices Architecture, on the other hand, is composed of small autonomous services, divided over business capabilities that communicate with each other over network mostly in async fashion.

Assuming that the majority of providers using microservices architecture,
* One can scale the system by increasing the number of instances of service by bringing up more containers.
* One can also apply to cache at microservice layer which can be easy to manage as an invalidation of the cache can be done very easily as the microservice will be the single source of truth.
* Caching can also be introduced at the API Gateway layer where one can define caching rules like when to invalidate the cache.
* One can also shut down some containers when the requirement is less. That is, scale down.

Instead of clients directly connecting to load balancer, in this architectural pattern the client connects to the service registry and tries to fetch data or services from it.
Once it gets all data, it does load balancing on its own and directly reaches out to the services it needs to talk to.
This can have a benefit where there are multiple proxy layers and delays are happening due to the multilayer communication.
In server-side discovery, the proxy layer or API Gateway later tries to connect to the service registry and makes a call to appropriate service afterward. Over here client connects to that proxy layer or API Gateway layer.

JSON and XML are the two markup language that can be used in restful web api.

In document style web services, we can transport an XML message as part of SOAP request which is not possible in RPC style web service. Document style web service is most appropriate in some application where XML message behaves as document and content of that document can alter and intention of web service does not rely on the content of XML message.

One should have unit and integration tests where all the functionality of a microservice can be tested. One should also have component based testing.
One should have contract tests to assert that the expectations by the client is not breaking. End-to-end test for the microservices, however, should only test the critical flows as these can be time-consuming. The tests can be from two sides, consumer-driven contract test and consumer-side contract test.
You can also leverage Command Query Responsibility Segregation to query multiple databases and get a combined view of persisted data.

There are two cases.
* If you already have a monolith application and it grows to an extent where there are problems in scaling or we are not able to reutilize the components/modules/services across different projects/platforms and there is a need to do so. As well as at the same time implementing new features is painful and more error-prone and it is difficult to scale further.
* For new applications where implementation has not started yet started, we can think of a business case to be efficiently implemented, which can be easily maintainable, testable and scalable in the future and might be used across other projects/products/platforms at the same time.
Posted Date:- 2021-11-27 08:20:26
Microservices is an architectural style which structures and application as a collection of loosely coupled, independently maintainable, testable and deployable services which are organized around business capabilities.
If you have a business focus and you want to solve a use case or a problem efficiently without the boundaries of technology, want to scale an independent service infinitely, highly available stateless services which are easy to maintainable and managed as well as independently testable then we would go ahead and implement Microservices architecture.

I have often used API testing to find several different issues, such as missing or duplicate functionality, failure to handle errors effectively and seamlessly as well as any performance, stress, multi-threading, reliability or security issues. However, unimplemented and improper errors, unused flags and inconsistent error handling are some of the other errors that can be found through API testing.

When performing API testing, you’ll first choose the suite where you’d like to add the API case that you wish to test, then you choose the test development mode. After that, you create test cases for the desired API methods, configure the control parameters and test conditions of the application as well as the method of validation. Then you can perform the API test. Once the test is complete, you check the test reports, filter and sequence all of the API test cases.

API testing gives access to the application without needing a user interface. This allows you to detect the minor issues before they become big problems during GUI testing.
Also, API testing is typically less time consuming than GUI testing because it uses less code. As a result, it offers a more effective and efficient test coverage.
Another benefit is that the data is transferred using XML or JSON. These modes of exchange are language-independent, allowing users to select any coding language when choosing automation testing services. Additionally, API testing is easily integrated with GUI testing.
