1 Introduction
Internet e-commerce has become one of the hottest new economic activities at present. With the continuous growth of the number of users, new market forms have emerged, such as community-based e-commerce, channel e-commerce, member discounts, etc. This type of e-commerce system has been growing. As of now, there are many types of these e-commerce systems, each with its own characteristics and competing market shares. Therefore, how to effectively build a comprehensive e-commerce platform architecture, run multiple business models in parallel, and maximize the overall business value is a very important issue. The microservice architecture can meet this requirement very well. By fine-grained segmentation of a single system, a distributed system composed of multiple services is finally formed, which can effectively improve the scalability, elastic expansion, fault tolerance and response speed of the system. Therefore, the microservice architecture is gradually becoming the mainstream framework of the enterprise-level Internet e-commerce platform architecture. This article first explains the relevant definitions, terms and principles of the microservice architecture, and then takes the e-commerce recommendation system as a case according to the actual situation to elaborate on the position, advantages and disadvantages of the microservice architecture in the e-commerce recommendation system and its current stage. challenges and problems to be faced. Finally, I will summarize some experience and lessons of the microservice architecture in the field of Internet e-commerce, as well as some problems and opportunities that may be encountered in the future. I hope it can provide readers with some inspiration and reference.
2. Microservice architecture concept and technology stack
2.1 Overview of microservice architecture
What is microservice architecture?
Microservices Architecture (Microservices Architecture) is a service-oriented architecture style. It focuses on building a complex system in a loosely coupled manner. Each service can be independently deployed, independently developed, independently tested, and independently iterated to achieve system reliability, flexibility, maintainability and scalability. The microservice architecture represents a finer-grained SOA (Service-Oriented Architecture, service-oriented architecture).
