Microservice Architecture
Supported by KongConfiguring a CircleCI pipeline that builds a multi-architecture Docker image that runs on an Arm-based Apple M1 MacBook
Recently, I was excited to buy an Apple M1 MacBook: lots of cores and memory. I couldn’t wait to start using it for development so I tried running the Eventuate Tram Customers and Orders example application, which illustrates how to use the Sagas and CQRS patterns to implement operations that span multiple services. Sadly, running this application on my shiny new MacBook wasn’t straightforward due to problems running Docker containers.
In this series of articles, I describe what I learned solving one of the problems with developing on Arm: building multi-architecture Docker images that support Intel and Arm. I show how I enhanced a simple projects that runs PlantUML, which is an incredibly useful UML diagramming tool, as a Docker container. The end result is a CircleCI pipeline that publishes a multi-architecture Docker image that runs on both Intel and Arm.
Here are the articles:
- Part 1 - My Apple M1 MacBook: lots of cores, memory and crashing containers
- Part 2 - Building multi-architecture Docker images for Intel and ARM
- Part 3 - Configuring a CircleCI-based pipeline to build multi-architecture Docker images
- Part 4 - Testing an Intel and Arm multi-architecture Docker image on CircleCI
- Part 5 - Configuring CircleCI to publish a multi-architecture Docker image
In later articles, I’ll describe enhancing the Eventuate platform to support Arm.

About Microservices.io
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 workshops.
MICROSERVICES WORKSHOPS
Chris teaches comprehensive workshops for architects and developers that will enable 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.

Virtual bootcamp: Distributed data patterns in a microservice architecture
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 MECNPWNR to sign up for $120 (valid until May 16th, 2023). There are deeper discounts for buying multiple seats.
