One of the hottest new terms in the world of enterprise computing is the microservice. Starting with the seminal 2014 article by James Lewis and Martin Fowler of ThoughtWorks, microservices have taken on a life of their own – and as with any other overhyped term, they have generated their fair share of confusion as well.

They are designed to do one thing very well,” according to Janakiram. “They contain everything from the operating system, platform, framework, runtime and dependencies, packaged as one unit of execution.” As a result, “a microservice architecture promotes developing and deploying applications composed of independent, autonomous, modular, self-contained units.”

One of the charter responsibilities of DevOps (because it’s a charter responsibility of ops) is measuring and monitoring applications once they’re in production. That means both performance and availability. Which means a lot more than folks might initially think because generally speaking what you measure and monitor is a bit different depending on whether you’re looking at performance or availability*.
