Embracing Microservices Design

Chapter 7: Cross-Cutting Concerns

Traditionally, when we start building applications, we develop components known as facades to perform different operations, such as logging, health checks, tracing, and authorization. In microservices architecture, building these components for each service requires proper time and effort. Microservices are self-contained services that generally require less time to build because they are limited to a single business capability. Building the modules for cross-cutting concerns for each service would certainly take a much longer time than building that service itself. As a consequence, it affects agility and requires adequate effort to develop. Since each service has its own components, modifying one component ...
