By nature, micro-services are best when lightweight with a minimal footprint. It naturally follows therefore that these micro-services are bootstrap implemented using Spring Boot, and data is persisted to a NoSQL database (MongoDB). The Hystrix API (Netflix) was used to implement the exception isolation strategy, circuit breaker, and fallback software design patterns (specific to micro-services) to prevent micro service failures from cascading. Build process and library version management was configured to use the Apache Maven build tool. The service is designed to interact with a MongoDB key/value model with associations between various types of user-defined entities. As a rule, each micro service adheres to the standard C-R-U-D operations on the narrow set of entity and data each service provides. Other operations have also been implemented that manipulate more complex derived data structures. API Web Service (Braze® Endpoint): This is a push web service (JSON) API that provides various web services that communicate between the Web Application, via an Oracle SQL database, and the Braze REST web service endpoints. It performs various tasks which includes push service calls to Braze which eventually results in messages being sent to Braze enabled mobile devices. Performance was a key concern in terms of throughput and resource (cpu|memory) management. Lazy instantiation was used extensively. Looping and other expensive operations were limited to a maximum O(log n) performance. 3 CASMON GORDON Http request/response was done asynchronously along with multi-threading for processing multiple data inputs in parallel. Most features were controlled via configuration files. The Hartford (Philadelphia Financial)—Florham Park, NJ January 2001 - March 2014 Senior Java/J2EE Developer.
