What are some tools and technologies commonly used in microservices architectures?

Some tools and technologies help develop and deploy microservices based applications. This include:

  • Containers (Docker, Kubernetes): For bundling and directing services.

  • API Gateways (Kong, Tyk): For communication between different services in a secure manner.

  • Service Discovery (Consul, Eureka): For searching for any services in the network in real time.

  • Distributed Tracing (Jaeger, Zipkin): For the purposes of observing and fixing the flow of requests between services.
