Learn to implement microservices across a range of common tech stacks.

Scalability & System Design for Developers

In this module, we’ll look at some fundamental concepts for implementing microservices. Within each concept, learn about the different technologies used to implement it. The technologies include front-end 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 is described and then demonstrated with real code.

Microservice Architecture: Practical Implementation

# Chapter walkthrough

This chapter explains how microservices can be integrated in the web
frontend.

* First, this chapter discusses *why* the web frontend of a microservices architecture should be modularized.

* *Single page apps (SPAs)* are difficult to modularize.

* *ROCA (resource-oriented client architecture)* is an approach for web
  UIs which supports modularization.

* Furthermore, this chapter covers the available *options* for
  integration.
  
* Finally, the *benefits* and *disadvantages* of the different integration options are discussed.


This chapter demonstrates how frontend integration can be implemented and for which scenarios this is the best approach.

In the next lesson, we'll look at how a monolithic frontend compares to a modular frontend.


In this lesson, we'll look at a quick introduction to frontend integration.
