When an application is built following a microservice architecture, it is made up of lots of services, in contrast to a monolithic architecture. With the application split up into self-contained functional units, those can be built and scaled and even developed independently from each other.<\/p>\n

Advantages of Microservices<\/h4>\n

Microservices talk to each other through standardized interfaces. This brings some serious advantages. For one, any microservice can be written in a programming language of choice. Also, if one microservice encounters an error, it doesn\u2019t interfere with the others. To scale a deployment according to specific needs, there can be multiple instances of one microservice for more throughput and just a few of another, and vice versa. The microservices in a deployment find each other through a registry.<\/p>\n

We think that\u00a0microservice architectures can play an important role in modernizing existing open source projects and in facilitating the start of new ones.<\/p>\n

Microservices help compartmentalize functionality<\/h4>\n

For engineers, microservices help break up complex problems in bite-sized pieces that can be handled by dedicated teams. For administrators, they make parts of the application individually scalable and replaceable. For DevOps and developers of third-party software, building integrations becomes more granular and flexible – and language-agnostic. For contributors to open source projects, focusing on a microservice can make it easier to get started and focus on specific improvements.<\/p>\n

While we organize the microservices that make up ownCloud Infinite Scale in a so-called Monorepo and deliver it as all-in-one prepackaged binaries for the respective platforms, those microservices can still have their separate iteration cycles and, most importantly, can be individually scaled.<\/p>\n
