Microservices Software Architecture: A Review

Abstract

Architecting is an indispensable activity in all spheres and paradigms of Software Engineering. DevOps, a portmanteau of Development and Operations, has a major adoption challenge in context to Microservices Architecture. Architecture refers to the most important aspect of internal design of a software. Architecture must be good otherwise; it will become slow and much more expensive to add new proficiencies in future. This paper has presented a review of microservices architecture and implementation patterns. Microservice approach is a new concept in software architecture patterns and has leapt up over past few years for describing a certain method to design software applications as collections of individualistically deployable services. In this paper we are looking to discover the role of microservices software architecture in DevOps. It is found that adopting DevOps may carry many challenges/issues like organizational values, immaturity of the tools and infrastructural support with it for architecting with it.
