Abstract
In this chapter, we discuss the various critical factors of designing a database for microservices applications. As per the narrative of the microservices architecture, each microservice should have its own databases. Segregation based on data access helps fit the best technology to handle respective business problems. This means that a single application can use different database technologies, which is a concept called polyglot persistence. Let’s look at important factors to consider when building a microservices application, as well as how the power of the Microsoft Azure platform can be harnessed to build highly scalable, agile, and resilient solutions.
