Question

Refer to Exhibit.Service Consumer A and Service A reside in Service Inventory

Beckie · Accepted Answer

D) The Asynchronous Queuing pattern can be applied to position a message queue between Service A and Service B, between Service A and Service C, and between Service A and Service D. Additionally, a separate messaging queue is positioned between Service A and Service Consumer A. The Data Model Transformation and Protocol Bridging patterns can be applied to enable communication between Service A and Service B, between Service A and Service C, and between Service A and Service D. The Redundant Implementation pattern can be applied so that a copy of Service D is brought in-house. The Legacy Wrapper pattern can be further applied to wrap Service D with a standardized service contract that is in compliance with the design standards used in Service Inventory B.

Beckie · Answer

A) Service B and Service C reside in Service Inventory B. Service D is a public service that can be openly accessed via the World Wide Web. The service is also available for purchase so that it can be deployed independently within IT enterprises. Due to the rigorous application of the Service Abstraction principle within Service Inventory B, the only information that is made available about Service B and Service C are the published service contracts. For Service D, the service contract plus a service level agreement (SLA) are made available. The SLA indicates that Service D has a planned outage every night from 11:00pm to midnight.
You are an architect with a project team that is building services for Service Inventory A. You are told that the owners of Service Inventory A and Service Inventory B are not generally cooperative or communicative. Cross-inventory service composition is tolerated, but not directly supported. As a result, no SLAs for Service B and Service C are available and you have no knowledge about how available these services are. Based on the service contracts you can determine that the services in Service Inventory B use different data models and a different transport protocol than the services in Service Inventory A. Furthermore, recent testing results have shown that the performance of Service D is highly unpredictable due to the heavy amount of concurrent access it receives from service consumers from other organizations. You are also told that there is a concern over how long Service Consumer A will need to remain stateful while waiting for a response from Service A.
What steps can be taken to solve these problems?

Beckie · Answer

A) The Event-Driven Messaging pattern can be applied to establish a subscriber-publisher relationship between Service Consumer A and Service A. This gives Service A the flexibility to provide its response to Service Consumer A whenever it is able to collect the three data values without having to require that Service Consumer A remain stateful. The Asynchronous Queuing pattern can be applied to position a central messaging queue between Service A and Service B and between Service A and Service C. The Data Model Transformation and Protocol Bridging patterns can be applied to enable communication between Service A and Service B and between Service A and Service C. The Redundant Implementation pattern can be applied so that a copy of Service D is brought in-house and made part of Service Inventory A.

Beckie · Answer

C) The Containerization pattern can be applied to establish an environment for Service A to perform its processing autonomously. This gives Service A the flexibility to provide Service Consumer A with response messages consistently. The Asynchronous Queuing pattern can be applied so that a central messaging queue is positioned between Service A and Service B, between Service A and Service C, and between Service A and Service D. The Data Model Transformation and Protocol Bridging patterns can be applied to enable communication between Service A and Service B and between Service A and Service C.
