Service Fabric Architecture
Service Fabric Architecture
Service Fabric Overview
Our Service Fabric provides the foundational platform for all applications and services:
Container Orchestration: Kubernetes-based container management
Service Mesh: Istio-based service communication and security
Load Balancing: Intelligent traffic distribution and failover
Health Monitoring: Comprehensive health checks and auto-remediation
Configuration Management: Centralized configuration with environment-specific overrides
Applications within the Service Fabric follow these patterns:
Microservices Architecture: Decomposed services with single responsibilities
Event-Driven Communication: Asynchronous messaging and event sourcing
API Gateway Pattern: Centralized API management and routing
Circuit Breaker Pattern: Resilience and fault tolerance mechanisms
Observability Integration: Built-in logging, metrics, and tracing
Key abstractions that simplify application development:
Service Templates: Pre-configured service skeletons
Common Libraries: Shared utilities and frameworks
Platform APIs: Unified interfaces to platform services
Resource Abstractions: Simplified resource management interfaces
Security Abstractions: Built-in authentication and authorization
Core components that power the Service Fabric:
API Gateway: Entry point for all external traffic
Service Registry: Service discovery and health management
Configuration Service: Centralized configuration management
Secrets Management: Secure secret storage and rotation
Monitoring Stack: Comprehensive observability platform
Message Queue: Reliable asynchronous communication
Database Layer: Multi-tenant data storage and access
