Should microservices share the same database?

Fundamentals. By definition, microservices should be loosely coupled, scalable, and independent in terms of development and deployment. Therefore, the database per service is a preferred approach as it perfectly meets those requirements.

Can a microservice have multiple databases?

2 Answers. You can use a single shared database with tables that owned by different microservices if your data is heavily related. Also in case you have strong requirements on data consistency and availiblty of a service. There is pros and cons.

Does Microservices use separate database?

Each microservice should have its own database and should contain data relevant to that microservice itself. This will allow you to deploy individual services independently. Individual teams can now own the databases for the corresponding microservice.

Does microservices use single database?

As you described it very well above, each microservice needs to own it’s DATA, which could be held within a dedicated database, within a dedicated schema (within a database), or even a set of dedicated tables (within a schema within a database).

How do microservices authenticate with each other?

A user requests access to an application. The application determines that the user is not authenticated yet and redirects the user to the identity server. The user authenticates with the identity server. The identity server sends on successful authentication an access token/ID token to the user.

How multiple microservices communicate with each other?

The two commonly used protocols are HTTP request/response with resource APIs (when querying most of all), and lightweight asynchronous messaging when communicating updates across multiple microservices.

What kind of database should I use for my microservice?

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. Keep each microservice’s persistent data private to that service and accessible only via its API.

How do I keep persistent data private in a microservice?

Keep each microservice’s persistent data private to that service and accessible only via its API. A service’s transactions only involve its database. The following diagram shows the structure of this pattern. The service’s database is effectively part of the implementation of that service. It cannot be accessed directly by other services.

Do all services need to be in a database?

Most services need to persist data in some kind of database. For example, the Order Service stores information about orders and the Customer Service stores information about customers. What’s the database architecture in a microservices application?

Is the Oracle microservice architecture worth it?

The short answer is yes. However, before you start hyperventilating about the cost of all those extra Oracle licenses, lets first explore why it is essential to do this and then discuss what is meant by the term ‘database’. The main benefit of the microservice architecture is that it dramatically improves agility and velocity.
