Microservices: Concepts

 The microservice architecture is one of the most recent approaches to developing enterprise software applications. The concept of this style of software architecture has been discussed since 2011, and it has been establishing itself quickly. 

concept of microservice is like :

The microservice architectural style is an approach to developing a single application as a suite of small services, each running in its own process and communicating with lightweight mechanisms. These services are built around business capabilities and independently deployable by fully automated deployment machinery. There is a bare minimum of centralized management of these services, which may be written in different programming languages and use different data storage technologies.


Why microservices?

"Microservices is a phenomenon of building applications as a collection of multiple independent services which are loosely coupled".
It is nothing but decomposing the application into various modules which are independent of each other.

The primary advantage of Microservices is that the modules can be independently deployed. The team size of developers is very less (5-10),so that deployment is very fast.
There is no need of working with single technology for the entire application as like of monolithic kernel. Various technologies can be used to build the application and it makes developers to comfortably work as their interest.



In the same e-commerce example, with the use of microservices, the services can be divided into various groups and it makes the developer teams easy to maintain and deploy.
These microservices can communicate each other synchronously with REST API over http and asynchronously using message brokers like KAFKA,ACTIVEMQ etc.

Popular Microservices frameworks:

  • Spring Boot (Best microservices framework in Java)
  • Flask(Popular microservices framework in Python)
  • Drop wizard(Java)
  • Spark framework(Java)
  • Swagger(Java)
  • Jersey(Java)

What does :: mean in Java?

The :: operator refers to a method reference.   A method reference is a simplified way of writing a lambda expression in order to call a method. Method references allow you to call a method by mentioning its name. The syntax for a method reference is as follows: COPY Object :: methodName There are  four  ways to use a method reference: A method reference to a static method. A method reference to an instance method of an object. A method reference to instance methods of an arbitrary object of a particular type. A method reference to a constructor. METHOD REFERENCE TO A STATIC METHOD Let's take a look at the code snippet below: COPY import java.util.function.BiFunction; class Maths { public static int printAddition( int x, int y){ return x + y; } } public class Main { public static void main( String [] args) { BiFunction< Integer , Integer , Integer > addition = Maths::printAddition; int result = addition.apply(...

Dealing with Passwords in Java Applications: 5 Best Practices You Should Follow

 In modern Java applications—whether core Java applications or enterprise-level web applications—working with passwords is inevitable. Passwords are sensitive pieces of information, just like Social Security Numbers (SSNs), and if you’re handling real human data in systems such as online banking or healthcare portals, it’s critical to implement best practices for dealing with passwords securely. Below, I’ll share five essential best practices that I’ve learned and recommend for managing passwords, particularly when you are handling authentication and authorization. While these tips are a good starting point, be sure to tailor them to your application’s requirements and security policies. 1) Use SSL/TLS to Transfer Username and Password When users send passwords over the network, it is crucial to use SSL/TLS to encrypt the communication. This ensures that sensitive information is protected from eavesdroppers. Tools like LDAP and Active Directory are commonly used for storing usern...
