Abstract

Microservice architectures are an emerging industrial approach to build large scale and event-based systems. In this architectural style, an application is functionally partitioned into several small and autonomous building blocks, so-called microservices, communicating and exchanging data with each other via events. By pursuing a model where fault isolation is enforced at microservice level, each microservice manages their own database, thus database systems are not shared across microservices. Developers end up encoding substantial data management logic in the application-tier and encountering a series of challenges on enforcing data integrity and maintaining data consistency across microservices. In this vision paper, we argue that there is a need to rethink how database systems can better support microservices and relieve the burden of handling complex data management tasks faced by programmers. We envision the design and research opportunities for a novel distributed database management system targeted at event-driven microservices.

基于事件的微服务分布式数据库系统

微服务架构是一种新兴的工业方法，用于构建大规模和基于事件的系统。在这种架构风格中，应用程序在功能上被划分为几个小而自治的构建块，即所谓的微服务，它们通过事件相互通信和交换数据。通过追求在微服务级别强制执行故障隔离的模型，每个微服务管理自己的数据库，因此数据库系统不会在微服务之间共享。开发人员最终会在应用层编码大量的数据管理逻辑，并在强制数据完整性和维护跨微服务的数据一致性方面遇到一系列挑战。在这篇愿景文章中，我们认为有必要重新思考数据库系统如何更好地支持微服务，并减轻程序员所面临的处理复杂数据管理任务的负担。我们展望了针对事件驱动微服务的新型分布式数据库管理系统的设计和研究机会。
