Title
A pattern language for scalable microservices-based systems.
Abstract
Microservices are an emerging distributed architectural style to build highly scalable Web systems. Many design patterns have been proposed for microservices, and some of them for scalability, but this growing corpus has not yet been organized as a coherent, easy to-use pattern language. This article builds on previous work that identified existing patterns for microservice-based systems, selects those related to scalability, and organizes them in three categories (load-balancing, decomposition, and grouping) corresponding to the three well-known scalability dimensions (also called X-, Y- and Z-axis). The pattern language use is illustrated with a case study of documenting the architecture of a real-time bus position capturing application. This principled pattern language yields a solid basis for organizing current and future patterns that address scalability of microservice-based systems.
