Learn about different Java versions along with different Java technologies, such as Gradle and microservices.

Android Development with Java

In this module, we'll learn and compare the different versions of Java. This will help us better understand Java and will also help us get started with the basics of application development.
We'll cover the latest in Java up to version 17—cloud and microservices, build, testing, and web frameworks as well as and reactive programming in Java.

## What are microservices?
The idea behind **microservices** is to break up a monolithic application into the smallest possible parts.
The advantages include the ability to independently improve and deploy each service, have different
technologies for each service, and reduce the number of resources we need to provision for large
applications.

Although microservices have several advantages, nothing comes for free and there are some difficulties. There is overhead associated with managing multiple services, managing multiple deployments, integrating multiple versions of microservices together, and communication between the microservices. Multiple solutions exist for handling each of these difficulties. For many, the advantages outweigh the disadvantages.
