● “Microservices architecture is about building a software application as a
collection of independent, autonomous (developed, deployed and scaled
independently), business capability oriented and loosely coupled services.”

8. Eliminating the Central ESB
ESB contains business logic + network
communication logic
With MSA, business logic + network
communication logic are dispersed across
independent services

9. Organizing Microservices

10. ● Not all microservices are similar
● Some services are business logic heavy, while some contain a lot of interservice
calls
● Some services are too fine-grained to be exposed as a business functionality
● Some services are exposed as APIs
Microservices Types with Different Granularities

12. Integrating Microservices is hard!

● Inter-service communication is essential.
● The capabilities that ESB provided have to be implemented at each service
level.
● Integration complexity is not reduced but dispersed across services.

13. Abstractions for Inter-Service communication
13
● Supporting high-level abstractions for inter-service communication.
● Support for multiple protocols and standards.
⦿ HTTP, gRPC, GraphQL, Web Sockets, Web Hooks, SOAP
⦿ Kafka, AMQP, NATS
⦿ FTP, SFTP
⦿ TCP, Rsocket
● Integrating with SaaS, proprietary and legacy systems
⦿ e.g. Salesforce, SAP, Amazon S3, SQS

APIs

42. 42
Proxy Services
Acts as a virtual service. Receives messages and mediates them before sending them to the
endpoint.

43. 43
Tasks
Configure scheduled jobs that execute internal/external commands.

44. 44
Inbound Endpoints
A message source that can be configured dynamically.

45. 45
Mediators
Name Description
Log Mediator
Logs full or part of the message at various severity levels ( Trace, Debug,
etc.).
Sequence Mediator Invokes existing sequence. Sequence name can be static or dynamic.
Call Mediator Sends a message out using static information or an endpoint definition.
Respond Mediator Responds back to the client.
Switch Mediator
Evaluates message content against regular expressions and invokes the
corresponding mediator (switch-case-default).
Property Mediator Assigns a value to a property to be retrieved later
Drop Mediator Stops processing the current message.
Fault Mediator Transforms current message into a custom Fault message.
