Docker, Cloud services, and Container Orchestration services brought us the ability to develop distributed, more scalable, and reliable solutions.</p> <p>In this article, we will compare microservices and monolith architecture, discuss what teams and projects should use what type of architecture, and explore their advantages and disadvantages.<br> At a glance, the difference between those types can be illustrated like this</p> <p>It is not strictly true that monolith apps are always simple, but microservices are often 10 times larger and almost always requires more resources.<br> Let’s discuss the pros and cons of every, point by point.</p> <h2> Deployment </h2> <p>Monolith apps allow you to line your deployment once then simply adjust it supported ongoing changes. At the same time, however, there is also only a single point of failure during deployment and, if everything goes wrong, you could break your entire project.</p> <p>Microservices require much more work; you will need to deploy each microservice independently, worry about orchestration tools, and try to unify the format of your ci/cd pipelines to reduce the amount of time required for doing it for each new microservice. </p> <p>There is a bright side, however; if something goes wrong, you will only break one small microservice, which is less problematic than the entire project. It’s also much easier to rollback one small microservices than an entire monolith app.</p> <h2> Maintenance </h2> <p>If you plan to use a microservices architecture, get a DevOps for your team and prepare yourself. </p> <p>Not every developer will be familiar with Docker or orchestration tools, such as Kubernetes, Docker Swarm, Mesosphere, or any similar tool that could help you to manage infrastructure with a lot of moving parts. </p> <p>Someone has got to monitor and maintain the functioning state of your CI configuration for every microservice and therefore the whole infrastructure.</p> <h2> Reliability </h2> <p>Microservices architecture is the obvious winner here. Breaking one microservice affects only one part and causes issues for the clients that use it, but no one else. If, for example, you’re building a banking app and the microservice responsible for money withdrawal is down, this is less serious than the whole app being forced to stop.</p> <h2> Scalability </h2> <p>For scalability, microservices are again better suited. Monolith apps are hard to scale because, even if you run more workers, every worker will be on the single, whole project, an inefficient way of using resources. </p> <p>Worse, you may write your code in the way that would render it impossible to scale it horizontally, leaving only vertical scaling possible for your monolith app. With microservices, this is much easier.</p> <p>Resources can be used more carefully and allow you to scale only those parts that require more resources.</p> <h2> Cost </h2> <p>Cost is hard to calculate because monolith architecture is cheaper in some scenarios, but not in others. </p> <p>For example, with the better scalability of microservices, you could set up an auto-scale and only pay for that when the volume of users requires more resources.</p> <p>At the same time, to keep that infrastructure up and running you need a DevOps that needs to be paid. With a small monolith app, you could run on a $5-$20 host and turn on the snapshot. </p> <p>With a larger monolith app, you may host a very expensive instance because you can’t share it over multiple small, cheap hosts.</p> <h2> Development </h2> <p>In one of our projects, we have 16 microservices and I could tell you from experience that this can be tricky to deal with it. </p> <p>The best way to deal with microservices is to build your docker-compose file from the beginning and develop through Docker. </p> <p>This helps you reduce the time spent onboarding new people; simply run the system from scratch and launch all microservices as needed. </p> <p>Opening 10+ terminal windows and executing commands to start each service is a pain.<br> On the other hand. when you develop one microservice, you may have a case in which you don’t need to run other parts of the application at all. </p> <p>This leads to fewer problems with git conflicts thanks to the higher process of breaking down tasks and therefore the ability to isolate developers across microservices.<br> Doing code review and QA is simpler with microservices; you may even be able to write microservices in different languages.</p> <h2> Releasing </h2> <p>Microservices that are smaller and with a proper architecture of microservices communication allow you to release new features faster by reducing QA time, build time, and tests execution time. Monolith apps have a lot of internal dependencies that could not be broken up. There is also a higher risk that something you are committed to could depend on unfinished changes from your team members, which could potentially postpone releases.</p> <h2> What’s architecture better for you? </h2> <p>Use monolith architecture if you:</p> <ul> <li>have a small team.</li> <li>build the MVP version of a new product.</li> <li>did not get millions in investments to hire DevOps or spend extra time on the complex architecture. <ul> <li>have experience of development on solid frameworks, like Ruby on Rails, Laravel, etc.</li> <li>don’t see performance bottlenecks for some key functionality.</li> </ul> </li> </ul> <p>Use microservices architecture if you:</p> <ul> <li>don’t have a decent deadline; microservices require you to research and architecture getting to ensure it works.</li> <li>have a team with knowledge of different languages.</li> <li>worry a lot about the scalability and reliability of your product.</li> <li>potentially have a couple of development departments(maybe even in several countries/time zones).</li> <li>have an existing monolith app and see problems with parts of your application that would be split across multiple microservices.</li> </ul> <p>This blog is originally published on <a href="https://www.prakashsellathurai.com/2017/08/02/monolithic-vs-microservices" rel="noopener noreferrer">here</a></p> microservices monolithic architecture Awesome Product Management prakashsellathurai Sun, 11 Oct 2020 15:46:05 +0000 https://dev.to/prakashsellathurai/awesome-product-management-39f2 https://dev.to/prakashsellathurai/awesome-product-management-39f2 <p>Curated list of Product Management Resources </p> <h2> Content </h2> <ul> <li> General Product Management <ul> <li>What is Product Management</li> <li>Is it really for you?</li> <li>Becoming a Product Guru</li> <li>Building Great Products</li> <li>Get out of the building</li> <li>All about those Requirements</li> <li>Roadmaps, Planning, and prioritization</li> <li>How to work with X</li> <li>User Experience</li> <li>Give and Receive Feedback</li> <li>Shipping and Measuring Products</li> <li>Organizing your Team</li> <li>Become the Best in the Field</li> <li>Minimum Viable Product Manager (MVPM)</li> </ul> </li> <li> Resources <ul> <li>Resource Repositories</li> <li>Vision &amp; Strategy</li> <li>Design</li> <li>Development</li> <li>Mockups</li> <li>Marketing</li> <li>Team Management</li> <li>Analytics</li> <li>Books</li> <li>Newsletters</li> <li>Podcasts</li> <li>Online Courses</li> <li>Online Blogs</li> </ul> </li> <li> Real Life Product Management <ul> <li>Interviews</li> <li>Product Case Studies</li> <li>Sample Product Documentation</li> <li> Communities to Join - Groups - Meetups - Conferences </li> </ul> </li> <li> Get the Job <ul> <li>Career Prep Resume</li> <li>Career Prep The Interview</li> <li>Career Prep Where to Apply</li> <li>Career Prep Company Types</li> </ul> </li> <li>Tools</li> <li>Top Product Managers</li> <li>Contributing to the list</li> </ul> <h2> General Product Management </h2> <h4> What Is Product Management?

In different organizations, it shows up in several structures. </p> <p>Under Ricardo Semler, Semco rehearses "three whys" and widens the training to hide objective setting and dynamic.</p> <h4> When to Use It: </h4> <p><a href="https://media2.dev.to/dynamic/image/width=800%2Cheight=%2Cfit=scale-down%2Cgravity=auto%2Cformat=auto/https%3A%2F%2Fwww.prakashsellathurai.com%2Fassets%2Fblog%2Fwhen-to-use.jpg" class="article-body-image-wrapper"><img src="https://media2.dev.to/dynamic/image/width=800%2Cheight=%2Cfit=scale-down%2Cgravity=auto%2Cformat=auto/https%3A%2F%2Fwww.prakashsellathurai.com%2Fassets%2Fblog%2Fwhen-to-use.jpg" alt="" width="800" height="400"></a></p> <p>You can use 5 Whys for troubleshooting, quality improvement, and problem-solving, but it's best when wont to resolve simple or moderately difficult problems.</p> <p>It may not be suitable if you'd wish to tackle a fancy or critical problem. this is often actually because 5 Whys can lead you to pursue one track, or a limited number of tracks, of inquiry when, in fact, there may well be multiple causes.</p> <p>This simple technique, however, can often direct you quickly to the basis explanation for a drag . So, whenever a system or process isn't working properly, provides it a try before you start a more in-depth approach – and positively before you plan to develop an answer .</p> <h4> How to use It: </h4> <p>The model follows a series of simple seven-step process:</p> <ol> <li>#### Gather the Team</li> </ol> <p>!["Avenegers assemble"](<a href="https://media.giphy.com/media/j2pWZpr5RlpCodOB0d/giphy.gif" rel="noopener noreferrer">https://media.giphy.com/media/j2pWZpr5RlpCodOB0d/giphy.gif</a>]</p> <div class="highlight js-code-highlight"> <pre class="highlight plaintext"><code> &lt;em&gt;"_Rationality is served by broader and more comprehensive frames_"&lt;/em&gt; &gt;Gather all the stakeholders who are visiting be either be at the cause or the effect of the choice that are to be made.Include a neutral element to cut back the conformity bias . </code></pre> </div> <ol> <li> <h4> Define the problem Statement </h4> <pre class="highlight plaintext"><code>&gt;If you'll be able to, observe the matter in terms of action. you'll Discuss it along with your team and write a quick, clear problem statement that you simply all agree on </code></pre> </li> <li> <h4> Ask the why? </h4> <pre class="highlight plaintext"><code>&gt;Ask your team why the problem is occurring.Asking "Why?" sounds simple, but answering it requires some serious deep thought. &gt;Search for answers that have to be consider things that have actually happened, not just guesses at what might need happened. </code></pre> </li> <li><h4> Do it four times </h4></li> </ol> <p><a href="https://media2.dev.to/dynamic/image/width=800%2Cheight=%2Cfit=scale-down%2Cgravity=auto%2Cformat=auto/https%3A%2F%2Fwww.prakashsellathurai.com%2Fassets%2Fblog%2F5-sticky.png" class="article-body-image-wrapper"><img src="https://media2.dev.to/dynamic/image/width=800%2Cheight=%2Cfit=scale-down%2Cgravity=auto%2Cformat=auto/https%3A%2F%2Fwww.prakashsellathurai.com%2Fassets%2Fblog%2F5-sticky.png" alt="" width="800" height="400"></a></p> <blockquote> <p>For each of the answers that you simply generated in Step 3, ask further "whys" in succession ideally fourfold.
