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

There is a plethora of services available on the cloud and PaaS is one of them.


# Chapter walkthrough
This chapter introduces PaaS (Platform as a Service) as a runtime
environment for microservices.

The text answers the following questions:

* What is a PaaS and how does it differ from other runtime
environments?

* Why is a PaaS suited for microservices?

As a concrete example for a PaaS, the chapter introduces the use of Cloud Foundry.

In this lesson, we'll look at a quick chapter walkthrough.
