In previous posts, we covered the basics of a C++ Microservices deployment including: With those basics in place, this blog will focus on optimization of the container in a C++ Microservices deployment. We'll examine how to structure the Dockerfile and the resulting Docker image to reduce the number of layers and disk space used.
Whether you're breaking up a monolith or building a green-field application, you may consider using a microservice architecture. Like all app architectures, this model brings opportunities and challenges that a developer must be aware of in order to make the most of this app design. One such challenge is ensuring communication between your microservices.
Many companies are leveraging DevOps, microservices, automation, self-service, cloud and CI/CD pipelines. These megatrends are changing how companies are building and running software. One thing that often slips through the cracks is security. With microservices, there’s an increase in the number of APIs companies have to protect. YouTube An error occurred.

Unless you've been living on Mars for the past few years, I'm sure you’ve heard the buzzword “microservices”, also known as microservices architecture. A distinctive development approach, this natural evolution in software engineering came about due to the ever-increasing complexities of enterprise applications. Traditional applications are usually monolithic in design, which makes them bulky and very difficult to adapt to the changing needs of the business.
In a previous post, C++ Microservices in Docker, we worked through the steps for creating a docker container that exposes a HydraExpress servlet container. We successfully deployed our HydraExpress server instance in Docker, however all that was available were the default example servlets. User application code wasn’t exposed. Let’s fix that and look at deploying custom C++ Servlet instances within the HydraExpress Docker container.
