Leveraging microservices architecture by using Docker technology

Abstract

Microservices architecture is not a hype and for awhile, started getting attention from organizations who want to shorten time to market of a software product by improving productivity effect through maximizing the automation in all life circle of the product. However, microservices architecture approach also introduces a lot of new complexity and requires application developers a certain level of maturity in order to confidently apply the architectural style. Docker has been a disruptive technology which changes the way applications are being developed and distributed. With a lot of advantages, Docker is a very good fit to implementing microservices architecture. In this paper we will discuss about how Docker can effectively help in leveraging mircoservices architecture with a real working model as a case study.
