- Independent deployment of modules.
- Load distribution in the server.
- Reduction in server startup from 7 seconds to 1 second.
- Cloning multiple copies of the container making it faster to process the requests. This increases application scalability.
The incoming requests are split and distributed across the container based on calls specific to server and calls specific to microservice components. Therefore instead of one server handling all the requests, these are routed across server components to process the request.
To deploy and orchestrate the services, Docker images are created to encapsulate the microservice and deploy those in the server. Docker images will be created for each microservice component to create a stable environment with the necessary WAR.
