All About Microservices Architecture

All About Microservices Architecture

**Microservices Architecture** is an approach to software development where a large application is broken down into smaller, independent services that can operate and be deployed independently. Instead of building a monolithic application, which is a single, tightly-integrated unit, microservices architecture divides the functionality into separate services that communicate with each other through well-defined APIs (Application Programming Interfaces).



Key characteristics of microservices architecture include:

1. **Modularity:** Each microservice represents a specific business capability and can be developed, deployed, and scaled independently.

2. **Independence:** Microservices are autonomous, meaning they can be developed, deployed, and updated without affecting the entire system. This independence allows for faster development cycles.



3. **Scalability:** Since each service is independent, you can scale only the specific microservices that require additional resources, rather than scaling the entire application.

4. **Resilience:** If one microservice fails, it doesn't necessarily impact the entire system. Other services can continue to operate, enhancing the overall system's resilience.

5. **Technology Diversity:** Different microservices can be developed using different technologies and programming languages, allowing teams to choose the best tools for each specific task.

6. **Continuous Delivery:** Microservices architecture facilitates continuous integration and continuous delivery (CI/CD) practices, enabling faster and more frequent releases.



7. **Easier Maintenance:** Updates or changes to a specific microservice can be made without disrupting the entire application, making maintenance more manageable.

While microservices architecture offers these advantages, it also introduces challenges such as increased complexity in managing distributed systems, the need for effective communication between services, and potential data consistency issues. Implementing microservices requires careful design, effective communication between teams, and the use of appropriate technologies and tools to ensure success.

Normalization Types in DBMS

Normalization Types in DBMS First Normal Form (1NF) A relation will be 1NF if it contains an atomic value.  It states that an attribute of a table cannot hold multiple values. It must hold only single-valued attribute. First normal form disallows the multi-valued attribute, composite attribute, and their combinations. Example: Relation EMPLOYEE is not in 1NF because of multi-valued attribute EMP_PHONE. EMPLOYEE table: EMP_ID EMP_NAME EMP_PHONE EMP_STATE 14 John 7272826385, 9064738238 UP 20 Harry 8574783832 Bihar 12 Sam 7390372389, 8589830302 Punjab The decomposition of the EMPLOYEE table into 1NF has been shown below: EMP_ID EMP_NAME EMP_PHONE EMP_STATE 14 John 7272826385 UP 14 John 9064738238 UP 20 Harry 8574783832 Bihar 12 Sam 7390372389 Punjab 12 Sam 8589830302 Punjab Second Normal Form (2NF) In the 2NF, relational must be in 1NF.  In the second normal form, all non-key attributes are fully functional dependent on the primary key  Example: Let's assume, a school can ...

SQL Injection

SQL Injection The SQL Injection is a code penetration technique that might cause loss to our database. It is one of the most practiced web hacking techniques to place malicious code in SQL statements, via webpage input. SQL injection can be used to manipulate the application's web server by malicious users. SQL injection generally occurs when we ask a user to input their username/userID. Instead of a name or ID, the user gives us an SQL statement that we will unknowingly run on our database. For Example - we create a SELECT statement by adding a variable "demoUserID" to select a string. The variable will be fetched from user input (getRequestString). demoUserI = getrequestString("UserId"); demoSQL = "SELECT * FROM users WHERE UserId =" +demoUserId; Types of SQL injection attacks SQL injections can do more harm other than passing the login algorithms. Some of the SQL injection attacks include: Updating, deleting, and inserting the data: An attack can mo...
