A concern that is applicable throughout the application of microservices that supplies a generic unified characterisation of functionality 1. External Configuration Application services often need to define configuration information related to database connectivity, logging, timeouts, port configs, external endpoints, queue connection properties, management endpoints etc., that would co-exist with the packaged/shipped application for deployment. Such configuration management setup introduces sophistic...

Logging, Tracing, and Monitoring of multiple instances of distributed services across numerous servers 1. Log Aggregation With a microservices design paradigm, the application can have multiple services designated for fulfilling user requests in a discrete, loosely coupled manner isolated in their process boundaries. There may also be numerous instances of the service running facilitating load balancing and scaling on additional machines based on the demand.  As the services involved process the request ...
