In this chapter, we have explored various practices and principles, which are best-suited for microservices-based products and services. Microservices architecture is a result of cloud environments, which are being used widely in comparison to on-premise-based monolithic systems. We have identified a few of the principals related to size, agility, and testing, that have to be in place for successful implementation.

We have also got an overview of different tools used by Netflix OSS for the various key features required for successful implementation of microservices architecture-based products and services. Netflix offers a video rental service, using the same tools successfully.

In the next chapter, readers may encounter issues and they may get stuck at those problems. The chapter explains the common problems encountered during the development of microservices, and their solutions.
