Lesson 107 - Microservices Annotations and Attributes 
(February 15, 2021)

Custom non-functional annotations (sometimes called identities, tags, or markers) are an effective way within a microservices architecture to denote the specific behavior or classification of a microservice. These annotations (called "attributes" in C# and "annotations" in Java) are simple to create and provide a developer with valuable information about a microservice and also provide an effective governance hook for architects. In this lesson, Mark Richards describes four of the custom microservices annotations he uses on a regular basis and shows how they can be used to increase your control, governance, and knowledge of your microservices ecosystem.
