Microservices have become the preferred application architecture for enterprise digitalization, and are evolving in two directions: shortening service construction cycles and reducing resource costs, and improving architecture quality and efficiency.
Today, Alibaba Cloud officially announced a major upgrade of the microservice engine MSE, fully serverless, bringing two new forms and two new experiences.
A new form of industry, the industry takes the lead in evolving to a serverless form
The registration and configuration center of MSE and the serverless of the cloud native gateway are reflected in two aspects. The first is the serverless billing model. Originally, a registration configuration center was purchased with a minimum purchase price of 3 nodes, which cost 498 yuan/month. After using the serverless model for billing, the starting price for one month will be less than 100 yuan, and you can use it at any time. . Second, the serverless operation and maintenance layer can help Nacos and Nginx R&D and operation and maintenance easily achieve automatic elasticity and eliminate the need for capacity planning and other operations, thus reducing the operation and maintenance burden. The new billing model will start public beta testing in September, applicable to both old and new customers.
Develop a new form, and the catalog price of the registration configuration development version is expected to drop by more than 20%
The registration and configuration center development version of MSE has transformed technical dividends into cost dividends through in-depth optimization of resource consumption. It is expected that the list price will drop by more than 20%, significantly reducing the microservice development and testing costs of Nacos and Zookeeper R&D and operation and maintenance engineers. . In the past, developers needed to purchase their own servers, build and maintain development and testing environments. If they were developing and testing locally, they would also need to perform joint debugging on the device and cloud, and bear additional public network traffic costs. Using MSE's registration and configuration center development version, these problems will be solved, allowing developers to focus on business development. In addition, compared with self-built development and testing environments, the price of the development version will be more competitive. The price changes will take effect in September and apply to new and existing customers alike.
A new experience for getting started with the product, and a novice guide has been added to the console
MSE provides a one-stop novice guidance function for registration and configuration center, cloud native gateway, and microservice governance, and provides one-month free trial resources for new users, which means that it reduces the user's use of the product in terms of time and resources. The cost of core capabilities, and fully supports the non-stop migration of Nacos, Zookeeper, and Nginx open source to commercial services, shortening the evaluation process before migration.
A new experience of service autonomy, a comprehensive upgrade of the service-oriented autonomous system
Provides event center capabilities. The event center provides unified management capabilities, analysis and display capabilities, and notification capabilities for event data generated by the registration configuration center, microservice governance, and cloud native gateways. For some abnormal events, you can conduct independent troubleshooting according to the guidelines provided by MSE to quickly locate problems and provide solutions, achieving a transition from low operation and maintenance to truly operation-free.
The microservice engine MSE continues to invest in technological innovation, allowing customers to continue to enjoy the dividends brought by technology in terms of cost, performance, stability, and security:
“We use the MSE cloud native gateway to combine traffic, security, and microservice gateways into one, significantly reducing the number of request links, reducing architecture complexity, operation and maintenance, and troubleshooting costs. For example, the peak RT of the entire link is reduced from 500ms. To the peak value of 50 ms, the 502 error report decreased to 0 during the service release period, and the 499 error report decreased by an average of 10% and so on.”

" The MSE cloud-native gateway helps us reduce resource costs by 50%, shortens request times, and reduces operation and maintenance complexity; the full-link grayscale solution in MSE microservice governance implements "traffic swim lanes" to quickly pull up isolated The development environment saves a lot of cost while improving the efficiency of R&D."

"We have built a zero-trust architecture through the MSE cloud native gateway, which allows for smooth migration without reconfiguring Nginx Ingress rules. The performance has been improved by 90%, the response time has been reduced by 50%, and the stability and security of the business portal have been greatly improved, effectively supporting daily operations. 100 million+ fan interactions, 40,000+ offline stores, and 30 million+ monthly mobile payment needs.”

"We have accessed all the microservice governance capabilities of MSE without modifying any code. Based on the development environment isolation capability, the construction time of the test environment has been reduced from days to minutes, and the implementation cycle of microservices has been shortened by 30%, accelerating the construction of textile A digital and intelligent comprehensive service platform for vertical integration of clothing."
