Is Meraki cloud microservices based?

Mist is trying to sell us the microservices story & i can not believe that Meraki cloud is not microservices based. However, i did not find any proof of Meraki cloud being microservices based!

Best i could find was a field day mention of Meraki trying to move to microservices cloud in 2022 but nothing else!

Here is the field day video link:

No.  It was just a related document.

 

The use/non-use of micro-services is quite a deep application design decision.  It's not something that is usually visible to the end user of an application.

 

It's a way of constructing applications and managing/rolling out updates.

The Meraki Dashboard and backend platform used to be solely based around clustered nodes arranged into shards for horizontal scale-out.  Quite some time ago, microservices began to be adopted, and some Meraki services are now utilising microservices.

Does this page point at any explanation on micro services? I apologize but i don't see any mention of micro services in it.

The Meraki Cloud Architecture page describes a centralized management service built on multi-tenant servers distributed across Meraki data centers and public cloud providers. But, it does not mention microservices explicitly, it focuses on reliability, high availability, and disaster recovery.

I am not a Cisco Meraki employee. My suggestions are based on documentation of Meraki best practices and day-to-day experience.

Please, if this post was useful, leave your kudos and mark it as solved.
