Among the different components of modern software solutions, the database is one of the most critical. Regardless of whether the computing platform to be evaluated is on-prem, containerized, virtualized, or in the cloud, it is crucial to consider several essential factors. For storage, FIO is generally used.

Consumers store messages in a queue — usually in a buffer or on a storage medium — until they can process and delete them. As a result of persistent queues, a system benefits from improved performance, reliability, and scalability. They may be requests, replies, error messages, or information needed for logging or tracing.

If the data is common between multiple services, the database layer gets extricated out of microservices in favor of the creation of a common shared data layer. Problem solved, right?
