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

Asynchronous microservices have advantages over synchronous microservices. 

## Chapter walkthrough
This chapter discusses:

* How microservices can communicate asynchronously.

* Which protocols can be used for asynchronous communication.

* How events and asynchronous communication are linked.

* The advantages and disadvantages of asynchronous communication.
