What Are the 3 Managed Services used for MSA Deployment On Azure?
- Service Fabric
It can run on both on-premise by using Microsoft Windows Server or Azure. With Service Fabric, you get highly flexible deployment, infrastructure APIs, and service life cycle management. It also involves just a four-step migration to MSA which is quite easy.
- Azure Kubernetes Service (AKS)
When it comes to deployment of MSA in containers on Azure then the most obvious choice is AKS as it manages and deploys Docker container clusters. Also, the Azure Storage services offer reliable and persistent storage outside the cluster of Kubernetes.
- Azure Functions
In the case of a serverless approach to microservices, one needs to use Azure Functions. The serverless function is driven by events in real-time rather than the entire container and the best part is Azure Function is going to bill you only during the actual runtime.
How MSA can be Built on Azure?
Here Is A Four-step Process Involved In The Implementation of Retail Tech MSA Azure
Domain Analysis
It is crucial to set the responsibilities and roles of every subsystem in the MSA structure. Also, you have to ensure that there are no tight couplings between any of the services and there should be no dependence of the services on each other as well.
Selecting An Azure Compute Option
In the case of MSA, you usually get three compute options and there is nothing like the best of them as all of them have their own pros and cons. The three compute options are; Function-as-a-Service, Container Orchestrator, Service Orchestrator.
Building APIs for MSA
Some of the most common considerations while building APIs are
- RPC vs REST
- API getaway
- Languages
- API’s formal definition
Choosing A Design Pattern for MSA
Some of the most common design patterns for MSA in Azure are;
- Facade Layer
- Backend for frontend
- Ambassador
- Strangler
- Sidecar
- Bulkhead
What Does API Management do for MSA?
The API management of Azure gives you a wide variety of services related to performance and security.
In the case of MSA, it offers independent development to select technology. This allows the developers to work on different MSAs at the same time and select the right technology for the issue they are dealing with.
Also, the availability of independent deployment allows the MSA to update without being dependent on each other. This allows an individual update of every service of MSA.
frequently asked questions
Why is Retail Tech MSA Azure is so successful?
On one side, MSA allows developers to break down the application into separate components, and on the other side, Azure offers all the tools, features, flexibility, and speed necessary for successful MSA implementation.
What is the API gateway pattern in MSA?
The API gateway draws all the API calls from the clients and then it successfully routes them to specific MSAs by using different processes like request routing, composition, and even protocol translation.
How can amplify the benefits of MSA?
The benefits of MSA can be amplified by using applications that are built-in cloud with a long list of managed services. This makes it easy for the developers to materialize the microservice promises.
Which problems are solved by serverless MSA on Azure?
- Dependency of operations
- High cost of hosting
- Scaling issues
- Managing services integration
What are the main building blocks of MSA on Azure?
The main building blocks of Retail Tech MSA Azure are Entry points, API Gateway, Async queen, Backend service, Workflow orchestrator, and many more.
