Cloud Hosting

There has never been a more compelling time to be in the API integration and management software business. From new technologies such as cloud-based microservices to 5G, from the Industrial Internet of Things to non-digital disruptive events such as the pandemic, change is accelerating. Global supply chain fault lines have been exposed by the tectonic shifts in economies, driving the need for ever more sophisticated integration.

The reason is simple. A fractured, non-digitalized enterprise cannot hope to survive, never mind compete anymore. The pace of change and the pace of reaction are just too fast. Half answers from disconnected enterprise assets, resulting in ill-founded decisions or business reaction times that are too slow to be effective, were once just the bad business practices of yesterday. Today they are fatal.

As we get into the core of these issues with customers, we have seen that business resilience during these turbulent times has been firmly based on digital fluency. Successful enterprises are bending but not breaking and are rebounding to business as unusual with impressive speed.

Microservices and API frameworks are at the heart of this fluency. Application architectures built on microservices are providing the speed, scalability and flexibility fundamental to digital business models. How? By providing a better approach to integration via consumable, interoperable services all based on the same underlying data model and well-defined, secure APIs.

When companies do this right, they can more effectively address the needs of millions of mobile, or locked-down, customers. They also bolster the speed of innovation, as they decouple core systems that are rarely touched from the continuously changing business apps.

Increased profit amidst cost control pressure is the simple answer. Microservices can deliver in many ways:

In addition, cloud microservices provide the reliability (in excess of 99.99%) and the scalability that mobile and edge applications require. That kind of scalability cannot be predicted at the time of application deployment but you may need it later.

This in turn drives a need for dynamic integration and reliable API exposure. Every major innovation in application development and deployment demands a corresponding innovation in integration and API technology and microservices are no different. It's particularly important to get integration right with microservices, because of the myriad connection paths and constantly changing ecosystem. Without the right level of integration, governance and control, your IT infrastructure will resemble the Wild West.

At Software AG, we call this integration Dynamic' because there are so many things within the infrastructure that can move around. Data can be migrated; virtual machines can move or change in a heartbeat. To handle this type of integration, many have turned to the concept of the service mesh. In brief, a service mesh provides the abstraction needed to adapt and communicate in an ever-changing cloud deployment environment.

Think of a service mesh as an infrastructure layer to help microservices communicate via business APIs. This layer can add increased observability, ensure secure communications, and manage failed requests.

However, we don't believe that a service mesh takes this far enough.

Why the service mesh needs more semantics

Service mesh is a necessary basis for running an environment that uses microservices, but it is only a basis. It evolved to better manage communications between microservices, but it is also a fairly technical concept. What's more, it's not addressing fundamental application management features. A service mesh is like a steering wheel on a carit's fundamental, but on its own it isn't going to get you very far.

What we need goes beyond that. A proper microservices architecture is like the satellite navigation and the driverless capability on that car. It automatically exposes all microservices as semantic-rich APIs. What that means is that you can:

An effective microservices architecture is the nerve center that brings the integration and governance sophistication needed to fully manage an IT infrastructure of cloud native applications, accessed by millions of users. This is an order of magnitude above on-premise business applications.

As enterprises double down on microservices and API enablement, they face the problem of managing microservices at scale. How that's done is a topic we will return to in future diginomica articles. But for now, here are our top tips for winning with microservices:
