Increase Development Velocity with Microservices
Enterprises have a handful of large, monolithic applications such as ERP, CRM, WMS, OMS, CMS, and so on. These large monolithic applications often expose many different endpoints, which are often not independently consumable. Changing one endpoint in one monolithic can have wide-ranging consequences across many other monolithic applications that might be consuming it.
Today’s infrastructure is all public cloud-based, which offers limitless elasticity, and Microservices are central to this new approach to commerce. Although “Microservices” first rose to prominence in 2013, the concepts have been with us for decades. Businesses/ eCommerce platforms can iterate on a new feature over the course of hours rather than months or even years using the legacy platform or, we can say, the traditional approach. We now have an extensive catalog with hundreds of entirely reusable “Lego blocks”–like commerce APIs that can be used to build innovative customer experiences. This is all possible with eCommerce microservices architecture!
In a nutshell, ‘Make each program do one thing well. To do a new job, build afresh rather than complicate old programs by adding new features.’
Microservices for Modern eCommerce by Kelly Goetsch is a conjoined booklet published by O’Reilly Media and commercetools. This comprehensive guide thoroughly explains the nitty-gritty details of the microservices architecture, APIs, decoupled ends, creating true omnichannel experiences, and many other essential aspects.
