This report is for developers and architects interested in developing microservices and distributed applications. It does not explain the basics of distributed systems, but instead focuses on the reactive benefits to build efficient microservice systems.
Microservices can be seen as an extension of the basic idea of modularity: programs connected by message-passing instead of direct API calls so that they can be distributed among multiple services. Why are microservices so popular? It’s basically due to the combination of two factors: cloud computing and the need to scale up and down quickly. Cloud computing makes it convenient to deploy thousands of small services; scaling makes it necessary to do so.
