This project is still in the planning stage and I'm very new to micro services.
We have a client who uses a web UI that's now pretty outdated. Most of the API does lend itself you a micro service approach, but they do have one "heavy load" process; "Proportionment".
Here is an analogy of how this process works.
Investment A has five equal investors (20% each).
Three of those investors manage their own dividend proportionment so get allocated their 20%, job done.
The other 2 are groups of investors who rely on the software to work out their distribution.
Group A4 consists of 4 individuals so each get allocated 25% of the 20% (5% of total), job done.
Group A5 has again a mix of individuals and groups... etc. ad infinitum
This report would be performed at Month-End for some investments or as Year End for others. That can lead to a lot of work for the system to do.
I guess you will want to see a more code-oriented example so here:
const Group = [
{"InvestorId": 1, "Percent":0.2},
{"InvestorId": 2, "Percent":0.2},
{"InvestorId": 3, "Percent":0.2},
{"InvestorId": 4, "Percent":0.2,"Group":[
{"InvestorId": 6, "Percent":0.25},
{"InvestorId": 7, "Percent":0.25},
{"InvestorId": 8, "Percent":0.25},
{"InvestorId": 9, "Percent":0.25}]},
{"InvestorId": 5, "Percent":0.2,"Group":[
{"InvestorId": 10, "Percent":0.25},
{"InvestorId": 11, "Percent":0.25},
{"InvestorId": 12, "Percent":0.25},
{"InvestorId": 13, "Percent":0.25,"Group":[
{"InvestorId": 14, "Percent":0.1},
{"InvestorId": 15, "Percent":0.2},
{"InvestorId": 16, "Percent":0.3},
{"InvestorId": 17, "Percent":0.3},
{"InvestorId": 18, "Percent":0.1}
]}]}
]
const SFC = props => {
<div>{props.label}</div>
}
class Proportion extends React.Component {
render() {
const {group,total} = this.props
return (
<div>
<ol>
{group.map(item => (
<li>
<label>ID: {item.InvestorId}</label>
{item.Group
?<Proportion group={item.Group} total={total * item.Percent} />
:<span>£{total * item.Percent}</span>
}
</li>
))}
</ol>
</div>
)
}
}
ReactDOM.render(<Proportion group={Group} total={1000000} />, document.body)label {
width:200px;
display:block

<script src="https://cdnjs.cloudflare.com/ajax/libs/react-dom/16.6.3/umd/react-dom.production.min.js"></script>So here's the question: Should I...
- Recurse this process by calling the microservice that proportions per group
- Have a single service performing the whole thing on the cluster
- Have a single serving performing the whole thing on premises
Thanks ^_^
