Automation

Our microservices should be designed with automization in mind, from building or testing to deployment and monitoring. Since our services are going to be small and they are isolated, the cost to automatize them should be low and the benefits should be high.

With this principle, we benefit the agility of our application and we prevent unnecessary manual tasks having an impact on the system. For those reasons, Continuous Integration and Continuous Delivery should be designed from the beginning of our architecture.
