Building and managing a high-performance microservices architecture

Faster time-to-market, better fault tolerance, improved scalability - there are many reasons organizations are turning away from monolithic applications and embracing microservices.

This ongoing shift coincides with the demand for real-time data. To fully realize the benefits of microservices, new data management approaches that are equally fast and flexible are essential.

Randy May, principal architect at Hazelcast joined DBTA’s webinar, Building and Managing a High-Performance Microservices Architecture, to identify the challenges and solutions in adopting microservices architectures while simultaneously incorporating real-time data practices. Tune in now to uncover those insights.

  • How microservices take the complexity out of governance

    Governance: it’s not a developer’s favorite word, but it’s a necessary part of ensuring software quality. Especially as apps become increasingly sophisticated, governance can be a complex and costly task.

    In this expert e-guide, we explore a distributed, microservices-based approach to governance in a modern app architecture. Learn about:

    • The elements of microservices governance
    • The key role of APIs in governance
    • How to adapt IT for microservices with automation tools
    • And more 

  • Application Modernisation: The Essential Guide

    One of the emerging trends is to engineer applications using microservices. Such an approach promotes developing and deploying applications that are composed of independent, autonomous, modular, self-contained units.

    This is fundamentally different from the way traditional, monolithic applications are designed, developed, deployed and managed. A microservices architecture means software development teams can rapidly update individual microservices without disrupting other parts of the application.

    In this guide, we look at how distributed systems have evolved to support more agile software development.
