FAULT TOLERANCE TECHNIQUES IN API AND MICRO SERVICES

Abstract

The architecture of APIs and micro services is naturally distributed, with components communicating over networks and depending on many other services. An important issue that fault tolerance faces with APIs and micro services is the issue of end to end monitoring. Redundancy and replication are much impactful tolerance style that entail duplicating pivotal components to guarantee resilience. Focusing on APIs and micro services redundancy and replication can be implemented in infrastructure, service and ata levels. The complexity involved in managing fault tolerance across multiple services and environments becomes higher as systems get more distributed and interconnected. Dealing with issues like consistency, data integrity, and end-to-end traceability in the area of highly distributed fault-tolerant systems is among the active areas of research.
