About this course

WHY I WROTE THIS COURSE

Microservices are one of the most important and popular software architecture trends. This architecture forms the base for a lot of companies including: Amazon, Netflix, Spotify, and Uber. In this course you’ll learn microservices in depth and understand reasons for and against microservices. Beyond that, you’ll learn about Micro and Macro architecture, strategies for migrating old systems, the role of Docker in this architecture, and technologies for implementing microservices. After taking this course, you’ll be better equipped to implement microservices for your own use.

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

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.
