Enterprise-wide Standardization

Context​

There are different microservice-based projects within the company. Common functionality, like for monitoring, is moved from individual microservice project level to the global enterprise level.

Problem​

  • The responsible team that is responsible for the common functionality on an enterprise-wide scope has to deal with the diversity of projects (e.g., other logging or monitoring events and metrics).

Solution​

Introduce enterprise-wide standards. For example, introduced a standardized interface for logging events and monitoring metrics.

This technique is related to project-level standardization, but focuses on the integration of a system and its microservices into the overall application of an enterprise.

Maturity​

More data is required (only 1 source).
