Microservice Architecture

The Basis for Flexible Software

Digitalisation is forcing companies to react flexibly to changing market requirements and shorten their time-to-market. Large, monolithic software systems can often no longer cope with this flexibility. Microservice architecture maps business functions in independent modules to avoid inflexible monolithic design. This approach not only enhances scalability but also simplifies maintenance and continuous development.

The use of microservice architecture simplifies the development, operation and maintenance of a software application.
The benefits of microservices can be divided into five areas:

By dividing complex IT systems into small, scalable services, we enable you to react quickly and agilely to the requirements of digitalization. These microservice architectures not only promote the flexibility of your IT landscape, but also its maintainability and expandability. This allows you to implement new functions efficiently, optimize existing processes and remain future-proof - even in a dynamic market environment.

• Creation and testing of concepts for microservice architectures
• Test automation for microservices (module, load and integration tests)
• Software architecture support for the setup of microservices
• Implementation of microservices and their deployment in the cloud (e.g. Microsoft Azure, OpenShift, ...), including release management
• 3rd level support, incident and problem management in the ITIL process

Best Practises - Our Recommendations

• Form small, meaningful units

• The communication of the individual services should be based on HTTPS or a queueing system such as Kafka or ActiveMQ

• The choice of technology should be based on the individual requirements, according to the motto: Which technology fits the requirement?
