Top 6 Microservices Trends to Take Note of in 2024

Microservices have become immensely popular in the last few years. According to a survey by Statista, 37 percent of respondents of a survey conducted in 2021 were using microservices partially. Many corporations have adopted microservices architecture to become market leaders in innovations. 

Lightweight and granular level services perform tasks of a software application independently. These are seen as essential for optimizing application software development for cloud-native models. As we step out towards the end of the first quarter of the New Year, let us see the top microservices trends that will hold sway in 2024. 

Kubernetes

Kubernetes is a container-as-a-service (CaaS) platform that helps to automate the management, scaling, and deployment of microservices. If in case any one of the containers that are operating a microservice is down, another one has to be deployed to meet the demand anticipating the downtime. 

Kubernetes helps in such situations by restarting abandoned containers, doing away with crashed containers, or displacing them when required.

Kubernetes keeps up constant deployment by providing load balancing and managing network traffic distribution especially when the traffic condition is high. Moreover, Kubernetes allows you to both automatically mount any convenient storage system that you prefer and implement rollouts and rollbacks as required. The use of Kubernetes provides many benefits and therefore is one of the most popular containerization open-source platforms today.

AIOps

This expands to Artificial Intelligence for IT Operations. Its adoption signifies the use of ML and AI to create tools that will automate the work done by the IT operations teams. This would range from solving complex system failure incidences to automating the different ways in which security breaches and the changes they bring about by utilizing data and patterns are identified.

With the help of distributed containerization deployed in the cloud, the data that is to be supervised by the different IT Ops team members would be easily available.  AIOps can thus help to support failure classification as well as prevention. Also, it helps to automatically shut down any unused resources thereby helping to cut costs and enable automated security monitoring. Therefore, AIOps helps to enhance overall productivity.

DevOps

DevOps refers to a consolidation of development methodologies and operations. DevOps constitutes a method and assortment of cultural practices in software development that require collaboration between different departments of the IT organization to perpetually deliver software. 

Containers are useful to make DevOps manageable as they determine the application frictions that exist between the different environments. DevOps’ key features standardized production environments that help to automatically deploy containers and this would allow teams to focus on more important tasks instead of routine and monotonous tasks. This helps to save valuable time.

DevOps allows for the technical protection of the perpetual software delivery process, fewer complexities, and swifter interpretation of and solutions to problems. DevOps offer infinite cultural advantages to organizations and allows to incorporate collaborative working, save time and derive more ease with automation. It also allows for advanced improved team compliance, quicker operational maintenance, and the creation of happier and more engaged teams. DevOps can help organizations to deliver the highest quality products and automate most of their workflows through prompt and incremental development.

Serverless Architecture

The serverless architecture does not require server responsibility. Therefore, developers do not have to any longer concentrate on server management or worry about their implementation, maintenance, or debugging. Moreover, there is no need for any infrastructure monitoring. 

In a serverless architecture scenario, the cloud service provider controls dynamic server allocation and provisioning. This is an ideal model for cloud computing. Serverless architecture can be thought of as a type of Functions-as-a-Service (FaaS) platform.

Organizations can add the latest innovations as most of the infrastructure is managed by the communications service provider. This is what makes scaling easy and quick. This model necessitates that organizations are required to pay only for the resources they use up. A combination of serverless architecture and microservices makes the perfect environment that suits cloud-native development and a continuous delivery environment.

Containers and Service Mesh Security

A service mesh is a configurable, low-latency infrastructure layer operating as a process to control the communication between different application infrastructure services over a system. This layer takes care of service-to-service interactions among containerized application infrastructure and makes them quick, secure, and protected.

The best features of service mesh include load balancing, service discovery, encryption, observability, failure recovery, traceability, authorization, and authentication. The service meshes architecture functions with a proxy sidecar for every service instance. These sidecars are placed next to container cluster assistants and they work by managing inter-service interactions, security‑related interests, and monitoring.

Consequently, this arrangement hastens the diagnosis of communication errors and allows quicker development, testing, and deployment of applications. The technology being open-sourced is becoming a popular security trend for containers and microservices. It interprets the communications and also maintains security between the co-operations in both the containers and microservices.

Cloud Adoption

The popularity of cloud-based services is creating new opportunities for customer-focused businesses. As companies increasingly rely on cloud solutions, many are adopting a microservices architecture and moving towards a multi-cloud strategy. This approach allows organizations to tailor their technology stack to their unique needs and is often more cost-effective than relying on a single cloud provider.

Microservices are essentially small, self-contained components that can be combined to create complex software systems. This approach helps prevent dependence on a single source of software development and can lead to faster, more agile development cycles.

Conclusion

Building a microservices architecture in an organization requires not only the best technical skills but also a shift in the methods of how to manage internal projects in your organization.  All these trends are likely to shape the profile of microservices in the years to come.
