Microservices reference architecture, tools and frameworks

"The Microservices train" made by Roger van de Kimmenade (see my Photos page)

Intro

I am a fairly newby within the Microservices world but I have more experience with Service Oriented Architecture, Event Driven Architectures and more. So lately I began to read more about the architecture style of Microservices. In each blog item or news item I come across a new name of a tool/framework. So the idea came to try to make a reference architecture and a toolsheet in which each tool is mapped to that reference architecture. I have come to a state that I can use your help! Which concepts are missing and which tools can I add?
Please leave comments.

Reference Architecture

This is my first go of a kind of hybrid Microservices reference architecture, in which an integration layer is used to expose COTS products and legacy.


Tool/framework sheet

The next sheet is freely available and contains a list of tools and frameworks, that can be used within the Microservices ecosystem. I know it is far from complete, so thats why i need you!
The type is the most clearest capability of the tool. The other capabilities are also present. This list of capabilities needs to be extended too. And also here your help is helfull !

  1. Really great information on Microservices....

  2. This is good with respect to key ingredients like API gateways, service mesh, devportals and infra monitoring but what's still left and to be defined is micriservices own implementation enabling Saga architecture and all related aspects to achieve overall API strategies. I believe people are still implementing microservices in a very simplistic way which is not the case in real world.

  3. I think a traceability solution is a must. You can use Zipking for this capability.
    On the other hand, monitoring is important, but teams are not going to watch always every dashboard: you need a solutions for alerts too.

    1. True ! I will add this to the reference architecture. Thanks! Would it be nice if this is implemented within ServiceMesh frameworks?

  4. Etcd is not a service mesh, just a key value store, like zookeeper.

    Kubernetes can also provide reverse proxy functionality when using ingress. The actual ingress controller (proxy server) can be implemented using nginx.

    I think nginx deserves a place on the list as well.

    React is not a container manager/orchestrator. DC/OS however is.
    I personally consider using a container orchestrator an absolute must when delivering your microservices as containers. Kubernetes send to become the defacto standard.

    Also perhaps replace AngularJs with just Angular. (AngularJs is the classic/v1 version noone should be using anymore).

    1. Regarding monitoring and logging, you may want to add the ELK-stack as well.

Microservices mindmap

"The tree" - See also   my photo page When you are fairly new within the Microservices land, there are a lot of terms fired at you. So also for my own understanding i have made a mindmap. I think it has a good status now, so that i can share it with you. As always feedback is very welcome ! You can download the mindmap here .

OSB 10gR3 and SWA and MTOM

This blog is about using soap with attachments and the use of MTOM within the OSB (10gR3). A service is created that accepts a soap with attachment (DocumentService) and translates it to a service that accepts a binary element. MTOM is used for performance reasons for the second. Some notes: * For the use of attachments you need RPC-style document instead of the usual document-style. This due to the fact that the document-style limits a message to a single . * A service can not have both SWA and MTOM within OSB. First a WSDL is setup for the DocumentService: The $attachments variable holds the attachments and the body holds the attachment data. Also other data is stored within the attachment element (see h...

Cloud to Cloud Application Integration

A lot of applications have integration possibilities, so do cloud applications. The question I got from a customer is whether to have a point-to-point integration with Cloud applications or to go through their ESB solution. This blog describes some considerations. Context The customer has a HRM application in which job vacancies are managed. Furthermore that system also handles the full applicant process flow. They also have another cloud application that handles the job vacancies. This application posts the jobs to social sites and other channels to promote the vacancies. Furthermore this application has some intelligence for job seekers to advice some new vacancies based on previous visits or profiles. The job vacancies need to be sent to the Vacancies application and applicant information needs to be sent to the HRM application, when a job seeker actually applies for a job. Furthermore status information about the job application is als...
