Welcome to the Services Resources section! Here, we explore key concepts and tools related to modern service-oriented architectures. 🌐🛠️

1. RESTful API

  • Definition: A set of principles for designing network applications.
  • Characteristics: Stateless, client-server, uniform interface.
  • Example: Use GET /api/data to retrieve information.

2. Microservices

  • Definition: A system built as a collection of small, independent services.
  • Characteristics: Decentralized, modular, scalable.
  • Example: Deploy services like user_service and payment_service separately.

3. Containerization

  • Definition: Packaging applications with dependencies into containers.
  • Characteristics: Lightweight, portable, consistent.
  • Example: Use Docker to run containerized_service.

4. Service Mesh

  • Definition: A dedicated infrastructure layer for managing service-to-service communications.
  • Characteristics: Observability, security, traffic management.
  • Example: Implement with Istio or Linkerd.

5. Serverless Computing

  • Definition: Execution of code without managing server infrastructure.
  • Characteristics: Event-driven, auto-scaling, pay-per-use.
  • Example: Deploy functions via AWS Lambda or Azure Functions.
