A Review of Cloud Microservices Architecture for Modern Applications

Abstract

As a potent architectural paradigm for creating and deploying contemporary applications in the cloud computing environment, cloud microservices have been developed. This review paper offers a thorough examination of the ideas, advantages, problems, and developments related to cloud microservices. We start by outlining the core ideas and traits of the microservices architecture and highlighting its benefits over more conventional monolithic ones. The advantages of using cloud microservices, such as scalability, robustness, and flexibility, are then discussed, along with the difficulties in implementing and managing them. The article compares the features and constraints of several cloud platforms and tools for deploying and orchestrating microservices, such as AWS, Azure, Google Cloud Platform, and Kubernetes. Real-world case studies highlight effective cloud microservices implementations and offer helpful insights and best practices. We also examine current trends in the field and recent research papers to determine where future research should be focused. Additionally, cloud microservice-specific security and governance issues are covered, with an emphasis on methods for encrypting communication, controlling access, and guaranteeing data privacy. This review paper seeks to increase the comprehension of this revolutionary architectural paradigm by providing a thorough examination of cloud microservices for modern applications.
