Abstract

Microservice architectures are used as alternative to monolithic applications because they are simpler to scale and more flexible. Microservices require a careful design because each service component should be simple and easy to develop. In this paper, a new microservice pattern is proposed: a database that can be considered a microservice by itself. We named this new pattern as The Database is the Service. The proposed simplified database pattern has been tested by adding ebXML registry capabilities to a noSQL database.
