Orphaned services: the reverse side of the (micro) service architecture

Andrey Nikolsky (Banks.ru)



The service architecture is popular: fashionable, convenient for development and management, the result is fast and visual. At first, it is easily and naturally deployed, maintained and developed. At some sad moment, everything falls apart and does not always assemble back quickly and without loss. The recipe, how not to be at a trough, is, in general, simple. Here, as with a car: do maintenance on time and get rid of it in time. The director of operation of the portal Banks.ru Andrei Nikolsky said in a report about the back side of microservice architecture.





Infrastructure as a code, we win on a scale

Kirill Vetchinkin (TYME)



TYME is engaged in custom software development and launches more than 15 projects a year, mainly large server systems based on microservice architecture. The infrastructure of any project is 80% identical, and each time it was necessary to configure the same systems several times for each project. This led to unnecessary labor and errors.



To solve this problem, the guys have implemented and are using the infrastructure as code approach. The code base is divided into modules that are stored and developed in Git. The modules are used in different projects and allow you to raise the infrastructure of a new project in half a day by typing a new project from them and setting specific settings, this is done by administrators. Developers, on the other hand, know and understand application systems well, so they configure the application infrastructure independently in docker containers.



Kirill Vetchinkin spoke about practical methods for implementing this approach.
