MICRO-SERVICES ARCHITECTURE

1. Introduction
Micro services architecture is defined as the type of architecture which are useful in
computing and software development. Software capability and the computing capability of
the software keep on changing every moment (Xu et al. 2019). There are diverse categories
of software development methodologies which are deployed by the software engineers to
make a software or a cloud computing device such as waterfall, agile and scrum. There are
numerous styles related with the development of a software and cloud computing devices
such as the monolithic architecture which were used to design a software, client server
architecture which are very much useful for the hosting cloud computing devices, layered
architecture which are very much useful for the transmission of data from one level of
processing to another, service oriented architecture which are very much useful to manage the
components of an application with the help of a communication protocol. Software as a
service is defined as the distribution model in which third party provider hosts applications
and make the data available from the online server. Micro services is defined as the type of
development technique which are used while developing software. There are diverse
categories of micro services which are deployed regarding the creation of software and cloud
computing devices such as the purchase order service, accounts service, invoice services,
reporting services and ledger services. Each of these micro services connects the framework
interface with the micro service interface.
This report shall be written in such a modus so that high level concepts of micro
services are understood by a consulting client. The report shall be written from the
perspective of an experienced Micro service Architect so that both non-technical as well as
technical people understands the business benefits and challenges of micro services.

2. Business benefits of micro services
One of the prime benefit of micros services is that it allows the developers to write the
code based on the specifications of the software (Slater and Moore 2019). There are very low
complications related with the deployment of this software development procedure. The cost
of micro services is much less than the other software development methods such as agile.
This software development procedure has very less bugs as compared with the other software
development procedures. There are very less scalability issues related with micro services, at
the same time there are other benefits of micro services such as its simplicity and improved
flexibility.
It is very easy to build an application with the help of micro services, at the same time
the business capabilities of a business software can be improved with the help of micro
services. The productivity of the software which are built using micro services are very more
than the other architecture. Numerous cross functional teams can get the access of a software
which are created on the basis of this architecture. The fault isolation of this architecture is
very much on the higher side as well. The code for different services can be written in
different language with the help of this architecture style (Selimi et al. 2017). One of the most
significant feature of this architecture is that if one micro service fails and other micro
services shall continue working on the process without any sort of disruptions. The
communication protocols of this architecture is very much simpler and can be deployed in
any kind of application or software development. The fault tolerance of micro services is also
very much on the higher side which is the main reason behind the increasing popularity of
this architecture. This architecture is easier to maintain and debug due to its light weight.
