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

Tools such as containers (Docker, Kubernetes), API Gateways (Kong, Tyk), Service Discovery (Consul, Eureka), and Distributed Tracing (Jaeger, Zipkin) facilitate the development and management of microservices-based applications.

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.
