Microservices Deployment Patterns

In the previous chapters, we discussed the evolution of the microservice architecture and how it can be thought of as a set of services. We have also discussed the deployment and packaging of these services. This chapter will explore various microservices deployment patterns and look at how to deploy microservices so that they can be easily scaled to handle a large number of requests from other integrated components. 

In this chapter, the reader will learn about the deployment of services. You will get an understanding of the structure, approach, and strategy of microservices deployment. We will also look in detail at the flow of microservices with various implementation patterns.

This chapter will cover the following topics:

• Microservices deployment patterns:
  • Multiple instances of microservices per host
  • A single instance of a microservice per host
  • A single instance of a microservice per VM
  • A single instance of a microservice per container
• Microservices deployment platforms
• Serverless deployment

Let's have a look at these topics in detail.
