Open Source Summit + Embedded Linux Conference + OSPOCon 2021

Microservices are gaining popularity as infrastructure building blocks due to they provide benefits such as decoupling of services, data store autonomy, minimizing development and testing setup, and provide other advantages like faster time-to-market for new applications. One of the fundamental ideas of microservices design is the overcoming from a monolithic application framework, which supports data sharing across services over the use of a single large database. A monolithic design lacks the flexibility and agility that a microservices design provides. On the other hand, having a dedicated database for each microservice may result in a polyglot system, which will inevitably become expensive and difficult to maintain over time. Dr. Vamsi Mohan is going to speak on "How to Choose a Right Database for your Microservices?". He'll go through the best practices and the importance of taking into account non-functional requirements including performance, dependability, and data modelling. He will be presenting performance bench marking of the Open-source databases for considering microservice based applications. Attendees can benefit from the session, choosing the right database for their enterprise grade microservice applications.
