7. Decentralizing Data

Sean Whitesell¹ and Rob Richardson²

Microservices architecture is an implementation of a distributed system. This means that we may need to separate computational load across multiple systems for reasons like governance, performance, scalability, etc. Now that microservices exist to handle business functionality across systems, we need to discuss how to handle the data. In this chapter, we will go over decentralizing data and suggestions for implementing different ways to handle data across multiple ...
