Everything you need to deliver a better developer experience
Applications, products, and systems have become more and more complex. Microservices, dependencies, and external services provide greater functionality and improved reliability.
Shifting to a microservice architecture comes with well-known benefits. Isolation between systems and teams means feature teams can iterate faster and the entire software engineering organization can scale with more efficiency and agility.
Event-driven architecture (EDA) is more scalable, responsive, and flexible than its synchronous counterpart. That’s because it processes and distributes information as it arrives instead of storing it for processing when a client requests it.
Improving your microservice security isn’t like improving the security of a monolith application. Microservices provide lots of flexibility for application developers.
When you’re designing a microservice architecture, there are a lot of questions you have to answer. Some of them make themselves apparent very early in the process.
Snyk is rapidly becoming the de facto standard for businesses that want to build security into their continuous software development processes. And with their developer-first tooling and best-in-class security intelligence, it’s no surprise.
Embracing a microservice architecture typically also means deploying much more frequently, which can seem scary. But favoring many incremental deploys is actually a sound risk mitigation strategy since changes tend to be smaller and more isolated.
