Just because having shared databases for your microservices-based app is easier, doesn’t mean you should. … The benefit of decomposing an application into different smaller services is that it
improves modularity

You are not likely to benefit from
a Microservices architecture if all the services share the same database tables. This is because you are effectively tightly coupling the services. If a database table changes all the services will have to change.
The general guideline in microservices is
to not share code
. Things that can be shared are libraries that don’t changed very often like US States, color, etc. To answer your question what about the code for the communication between the microservices , I would say not to share this code.
Why a shared database is considered an anti-pattern in the microservice architecture. Data sovereignty is a rule that states that each microservice owns its domain data and logic. Other microservices that wanted to access or modify that data, will need to pass for the microservice itself for doing it.
Another way to share data is
to share a data store
. Services can share a relational database, NoSQL store, or another data storage service. One or more services publish the data to the database, and other services consume it when required. Most databases and data stores provide data via request/response mechanisms.
How do I reuse microservices code?
Instead of coupling your microservices together via common libraries, you can simply isolate and sync any reusable code using the
Bit’s ability
to isolate and track source code among projects. You can even still install this code with NPM in different repos, and still make changes from any end.
Shared libraries introduce
hard dependencies
between microservices, so they should be created with careful thought about the roles they’ll play across your entire set of services. … This makes your microservice architecture feel like a monolith.
In the shared-database-per-service pattern,
the same database is shared by several microservices
. … This pattern does not reduce dependencies between development teams, and introduces runtime coupling because all microservices share the same database.
How do microservices communicate with each other?
In asynchronous communication microservices use
asynchronous messages or http polling
to communicate with other microservices, but the client request is served right away. … Instead, do it asynchronously (using asynchronous messaging or integration events, queues, etc.).
What is CQRS pattern?
CQRS stands for Command and Query Responsibility Segregation,
a pattern that separates read and update operations for a data store
. … The flexibility created by migrating to CQRS allows a system to better evolve over time and prevents update commands from causing merge conflicts at the domain level.

Which database is best for microservices?
For some services, a
relational database
is the best choice. Other services might need a NoSQL database such as MongoDB, which is good at storing complex, unstructured data, or Neo4J, which is designed to efficiently store and query graph data.
Is Microservice scalable?
Microservices, DevOps, and containers are
all inherently more scalable than legacy IT infrastructure and app development models
, but there are still challenges to address. You still have similar concerns in terms of scalability, but the approach to scaling is different when you’re dealing with microservices.
How do I keep my Microservices in sync?
- use a single database per microservice (not per instance) no matter how many instances are using it. …
- Use a shared cache layer on top of the DB (maybe redis cache)
- Use a database cluster to deal with high load/availability of databases.
How do you call one MicroService from another MicroService in spring boot using REST template?
You need to understand how REST-Services work. After that just write 2 Microservices (2 Rest-Services: producer-service and consumer-service) with Spring-boot, let them run under different server-ports,
call the consumer-service from
the other, and that’s it: you have your Microservices.
Are Microservices reusable?
Within a microservice:
A piece of code can be reused multiple times
within a microservice because of the wide range of functionalities it can help attain.
