Service Fabric Provides Scalable Microservices Platform

Service Fabric is a platform that runs microservices, which are typically small portions of functionality that can work together to comprise an application or provide services to other applications. The platform enables highly scalable, distributed, reliable microservice deployment, and it uses the same code that underpins Microsoft-hosted Azure (public Azure). Its availability on public Azure, and eventually for on-premises deployments, could help organizations build, manage, and upgrade applications more efficiently, ease reuse of code, and reduce some administrator and developer burdens. However, use of the platform will typically require new application architectures and implementations and new IT procedures.

Same Platform Powers Azure

Service Fabric is a platform runtime that provides a framework for building, deploying, managing, and monitoring loosely coupled services that Microsoft calls microservices. “Fabric” describes the infrastructure services that run a cloud platform by coordinating (or “weaving” together) the tasks performed by a pool of hardware components such as servers, disks, and network controllers.
