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

Synchronous microservices are one way in which microservices can
communicate.

## Chapter walkthrough

 This chapter shows:

* What is meant by synchronous communication between microservices.

* What the architecture of a synchronous microservices system can look
like.

* Which advantages and disadvantages are associated with synchronous
communication between microservices.
