Take a look at my self-paced, online bootcamp that teaches you how to use the Saga, API Composition, and CQRS patterns to design operations that span multiple services.
The regular price is $395/person but use coupon YXEERWTJ to sign up for $195 (valid until May 26th, 2022)
You have applied the Microservices architecture pattern and the Database per service pattern. As a result, it is no longer straightforward to implement queries that join data from multiple services. Also, if you have applied the Event sourcing pattern then the data is no longer easily queried.
How to implement a query that retrieves data from multiple services in a microservice architecture?
Define a view database, which is a read-only replica that is designed to support that query. The application keeps the replica up to data by subscribing to Domain events published by the service that own the data.
My book’s FTGO example application has the Order History Service
, which implements this pattern.
There are several Eventuate-based example applications that illustrate how to use this pattern.
This pattern has the following benefits:
This pattern has the following drawbacks:
Microservices.io is brought to you by Chris Richardson. Experienced software architect, author of POJOs in Action, the creator of the original CloudFoundry.com, and the author of Microservices patterns.
Chris helps clients around the world adopt the microservice architecture through consulting engagements, and training classes and workshops.
In June, I’ll be teaching a public microservices workshopover Zoom in an APAC-friendly (GMT+9) timezone.
Take a look at my Manning LiveProject that teaches you how to develop a service template and microservice chassis.
My virtual bootcamp, distributed data patterns in a microservice architecture, is now open for enrollment!
It covers the key distributed data management patterns including Saga, API Composition, and CQRS.
It consists of video lectures, code labs, and a weekly ask-me-anything video conference repeated in multiple timezones.
The regular price is $395/person but use coupon YXEERWTJ to sign up for $195 (valid until May 26th, 2022). There are deeper discounts for buying multiple seats.
Chris offers numerous resources for learning the microservice architecture.
Chris teaches comprehensive workshops, training classes and bootcamps for executives, architects and developers to help your organization use microservices effectively.
Avoid the pitfalls of adopting microservices and learn essential topics, such as service decomposition and design and how to refactor a monolith to microservices.
Delivered in-person and remotely.

Engage Chris to create a microservices adoption roadmap and help you define your microservice architecture,
Use the Eventuate.io platform to tackle distributed data management challenges in your microservices architecture.
Eventuate is Chris's latest startup. It makes it easy to use the Saga pattern to manage transactions and the CQRS pattern to implement queries.
Engage Chris to conduct an architectural assessment.
Alternatively, conduct a self-assessment using the Microservices Assessment Platform.
