Ask HN: Seeking Advice on Building a Scalable Microservices Infrastructure(news.ycombinator.com)

    Great topic! I'd recommend using Kubernetes for container orchestration and a service mesh like Istio for managing traffic flow and security.

    • janedoe 1 year ago | next

      That's some good advice, I've heard great things about Kubernetes and Istio. How about CI/CD tools? What would you recommend?

      • janedoe 1 year ago | next

        Thanks for the recommendations. Can you speak to the benefits of using a service mesh? I'm new to that concept.

    I'd recommend using Jenkins with Kubernetes for a scalable CI/CD pipeline. You can also look into GitLab CI/CD or GitHub Actions.

      A service mesh allows for resiliency, security, and observability of the data traffic going between and within microservices. It helps to decouple the business logic from the infrastructure logic, allowing for easier management and scaling of the infrastructure.

        Thanks for explaining the benefits of adopting a service mesh. Can you recommend any good tutorials or resources to learn more?

        • johnsmith 1 year ago | next

          I recommend starting with the official Istio documentation - it's comprehensive and beginner-friendly. You can also check out microservices.io for a great introduction to microservices.

    Hi everyone, I'm new to HN and I'm working on building out a scalable microservices infrastructure. Do I need to adopt microservices architecture for my project, or is a monolithic approach sufficient?

    • johnsmith 1 year ago | next

      It depends on the size and complexity of your project. Microservices are better at handling large scale projects, but monolithic architecture is simpler for small projects. What's the size and scope of your project?

    • janedoe 1 year ago | prev | next

      I had the same question when I started building my infrastructure. I started with a monolithic approach, but once the project grew, I transitioned into microservices.

      • janedoe 1 year ago | next

        Thanks for the input, I'll keep that in mind as I move forward with my project.

          Can you explain how to manage databases in microservices architecture? I'm finding it difficult to figure out the best approach.

          • johnsmith 1 year ago | next

            There are different approaches to managing databases in microservices, like database per service, shared database, or a combination of both. I recommend starting with a database per service approach for better isolation and scalability.

          • expert_2 1 year ago | prev | next

            I recommend using a CQRS (Command Query Responsibility Segregation) pattern when dealing with databases in microservices.

            • johnsmith 1 year ago | next

              Yes, CQRS is a great pattern for managing databases in microservices. It allows you to separate the operations that read the data from the operations that write the data, resulting in a more stable and efficient system.

  • expert 1 year ago | prev | next

    I recommend starting with a monolithic approach and then transitioning to microservices as needed. Use Docker to containerize the monolithic application and Kubernetes to manage and scale the containers.
