Enable Interoperability

• Expose all functionality as services
  • Do not hide services under assumptions that someone would not find value in a service - often innovation can be bred from exposed services beyond it's original plan.
  • Follow the 'eat your own dogfood' mantra - in that all functionality should be a service that you consume.
• Use microservices built around business capabilities. Scope each service to a single purpose
  • Focus on smallest unit of purpose, and developing a single function.
• Run each IT service in its own process and have it communicate with other services through a well-defined interface, such as a HTTPS-based application programming interface (API)à
  • Ensure that services are accessible via common methodologies, and follow the Government of Canada Standards on APIs
• Run applications in containers
  • Ensure containers contain a single application, and build the smallest image possible.
  • Ensure containers are properly versioned and tagged.
• Leverage the GC Digital Exchange Platform for components such as the API Store, Messaging, and the GC Service Bus
  • Ensure APIs are discoverable on the API Store.
