The move to microservices is a seismic shift in web application development and delivery Because we believe moving to microservices is crucial to the success of our customers, we at NGINX have launched a dedicated program to develop NGINX software features and development practices in support of microservices We also recognize that there are many different approaches to implementing microservices, many of them novel and specific to the needs of individual development teams We think there is a need for models to make it easier for companies to develop and deliver their own microservices‐based applications With all this in mind, we have developed the NGINX Microservices Reference Architecture (MRA) – a set of models that you can use to create your own microservices applications.
The MRA is made up of two components:
• A detailed description of each of the three models • Downloadable code that implements our sample photosharing program, Ingenious
Nothing new. Nevertheless, a quick skim if you are part of an Nginx shop. The author picked up a photo sharing app as the system to walk through the reference architecture but I felt, didnt have detailed enough for most of the stuff that we can derive from Nginx use.
