Microservice Architecture: Practical Implementation
Gain insights into real-world microservice implementation, exploring tech stacks, Kafka, Docker, Kubernetes, synchronous and asynchronous integrations, and more with hands-on coding demonstrations.
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.
