The core building blocks Best Practices of DevOps in Microservices

In my recent articles, I covered the core building blocks of DevOps in Microservices and of each building block in Monolithic architecture. As part of this article, I highlight the major best practices of each building block — that need to follow while working with Microservices environment.

As we already know that the following are the core building blocks of DevOps-

• Continuous Integration
• Continuous Deployment
• Scaling
• Metrics
• Monitoring

Let’s understand the best practices of each one of them below.

Continuous Integration

• We should maintain the separate code repository for each service.
• It is recommended that there should be a separate Continuous Integration build for each service
• As many commits as possible to the main trunk in a day
• Good test suite which will validate the results immediately
• Highest priority for the broken build, we need to address the build issues and fix them on priority.

Continuous Deployment

• CD covers all the stages ( Dev, Staging, Production) of Service.
• Use specific CD tools
• Identify technology agnostic CD tools
• Maintain the Single artifact for all the stages
• Having configuration server which takes care of all configurations
• Image generation for each release of the service.
• Mandatory versioning of artifacts for each release of the Service.
