ABOUT THIS COURSE

Microservices are one of the most important software architecture trends, but it’s one thing to define an architecture and quite another to implement it. This course focuses on the nitty-gritty details of real-world implementation. You’ll learn recipes for tech stacks that can be used to implement microservices, as well as the pros and cons of each. You’ll start by exploring some fundamental concepts for implementing microservices. Within each concept, you’ll learn about the different technologies used to implement it. The technologies include: Frontend Integration with Edge Side Includes (ESI), asynchronous microservices with Kafka and REST feeds, synchronous microservices with the Netflix stack and Consul, Docker, Kubernetes, Cloud Foundry. Each technology you learn about is described and then demonstrated with real code. By the end of this course, you’ll be a microservice pro. Whether you’re a software engineer or an engineering manager, this course will prove useful throughout your career.

These are high-quality courses. Trust me the price is worth it for the content quality. Educative came at the right time in my career. I'm understanding topics better than with any book or online video tutorial I've done. Truly made for developers. Thanks

Just finished my first full #ML course: Machine learning for Software Engineers from Educative, Inc. ... Highly recommend!

You guys are the gold standard of crash-courses... Narrow enough that it doesn't need years of study or a full blown book to get the gist, but broad enough that an afternoon of Googling doesn't cut it.

Your courses are simply awesome, the depth they go into and the breadth of coverage is so good that I don't have to refer to 10 different websites looking for interview topics and content.
