LiMSA
Litmus7’s Microservices Accelerator Helps Transform Businesses

Microservices and MSA

For businesses to recognize agility is very critical. Technology is fast changing, so application infrastructure must be optimized and micro innovations are a way to the future. Adopting Microservices as the most preferred architectural choice facilitates to develop large applications as a set of services, each running its own process and communicating with lightweight protocols, often HTTP resources API.

LiMSA (Litmus7 Microservices Accelerator) is an accelerator and a reference platform developed by Litmus7 for projects based on Microservices. This platform enables any Microservice project to be up and running within a short time. It also uses the best-of-breed technologies for all its foundational components.

    Problems that MSA addresses

    • Microservices come with increased complexity along with increased scalability and agility. There are multiple ways to solve a given problem in the Microservices world, which typically leaves the client clueless as to what is the right way.
    • Increased number of services have resulted in increased integration testing challenges.
    • With more services, there is a need to ensure the common infra components are available for each service and need to maintain multiple versions of it.
    • Many organizations are still not sure how effectively they can build a cloud-native/cloud-ready application and manage it in the cloud.

    Benefits of deploying MSA

    • The extensive research and evaluation done for developing the Microservices platform saves development effort of 3 to 4 months.
    • The platform supports automation of various types of testing like QA Testing, Integration Testing and Load Testing, thereby reducing the QA effort required by around 50%.
    • Fully automated and configurable CI/CD pipeline helps businesses to reduce the time taken from development to production deployment by 60%.
    • Development team need not worry about creating and maintaining infra/platform components; it will be handled by the infra team.
    • Since our solutions are cloud-native/cloud-ready, it is very easy to deploy and scale the services.
    • The reference services help the development team to head start and provide clear direction, which saves 20 to 30% of the time during initial development sprint.
