Explore different technologies for the implementation of microservices while highlighting their advantages and disadvantages.

Microservices Architecture

This module focuses on the various implementations of microservices. We’ll learn approaches for tech stacks that can be used to implement microservices. We’ll also discuss the pros and cons of each approach.
We’ll start by exploring some fundamental concepts for implementing microservices. Within each concept, we’ll 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, and Cloud Foundry. Each technology is described and then demonstrated with real code.

Microservices Architecture: Practical Implementation

## Summary
- Self-contained systems represent an approach for the implementation of microservices that have proven their usefulness in numerous projects.

- Self-contained systems provide best practices on how to implement successful
architectures with microservices.
- However, Self-contained systems also restrict the
general approaches of microservices and are therefore more
specialized. 
- Nevertheless, aspects such as asynchronous
communication and division into different domains are a helpful
approach in many situations.
