In-Memory Data Caching for Microservices Architectures

July 28, 2022

Microservices represent a generational shift in how applications are built. To reap the flexibility and scalability benefits of microservices architectures, companies need to employ design patterns for their data layer. But what are the unique challenges for data in a microservices architecture? And how can microservices co-exist with previous generations of investments?

With its scalable, in-memory performance, Pivotal Cloud Cache can accommodate a range of design options that specifically solve data challenges that can emerge with a microservices architecture.

This free white paper covers key areas of consideration for data layer decisions in microservices architecture. Read about how:

  • An in-memory caching layer brings fast response time for both read and write access to data.
  • Asynchronous updates and event-driven architecture protect the autonomy between teams, and allow for high velocity software development.
  • The elasticity and scalability of a microservices architecture is inextricably tied to the elasticity and scalability of the data layer.
  • High availability for the data layer is a key requirement, and the factors to consider when you are designing for high availability.
  • Legacy systems can be modernized and carried forward into the world of microservices with the help of a caching isolation layer.
  • Pivotal Cloud Cache meets the requirements of caching for microservices architectures.
