Microservices for beginners: Patterns and Best Practices to Start Building Scalable, Maintenable and Testable Microservices (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9798611659601)

They say breaking big tasks into small, simple and doable tasks is the secret to getting stuff done fast.

In the tech world, nothing represents this concept of breaking big tasks/goals/projects into small, bit sized tasks (modular components/services) that can be done by multiple people and teams than macroservices.

And the truth is; microservice technologies are evolving very fast, with distributed systems becoming more fine-grained in the last decade, shifting from monolithic applications to self-contained microservices.

However, while microservices are indeed great for designing, building, deploying, maintaining and scaling complex applications fast, these systems can be challenging to understand and put together to work as efficiently as expected.

If you are new to the whole concept of microservices, I know you are probably wondering....

So, what are the benefits of using microservices?

Why should you use microservices/what makes them so special?

How can you use microservices security patterns in the real world?

How can you design and develop microservices that function properly?

How do you troubleshoot everything?

And how can you apply the most modern techniques around messaging technologies and to overcome inter-service communication problems?

If you have any of these and any other related questions, this book is for you so keep reading, as this detailed yet simple guide will show you the grounding concepts while diving into current solutions for integrating, modeling, deploying, testing and monitoring your own autonomous services.

• The basics of microservices, including what they are, the approach behind microservices, the evolution of microservices and the features of microservices
• How communication works in microservices, including factors to consider for microservices architecture building
• The ins and outs of a service-oriented architecture, including the microservices drawbacks and the secret benefits of using microservices
• The architecture mindset on microservices
• How to design scalable backend infrastructures from scratch
• Everything you need to know about integration of microservices and the difference between orchestration and choreography
• The ins and out of representational state transfer, including the downsides to remainder over HTTP and the complexities of asynchronous architectures
• How to use DRY and perils of code reuse in a microservice
• All about versioning and how it is used in microservices
• The API composition, the UI fragment composition and backends for frontends
• How to test microservices, including solution examinations, end-to-end tests, trade-offs and implementing service tests
• Monitoring microservices, including the ins and outs of solitary service, single server
• Cascading failures and how to deal with them
• Everything you need to know about microservices security and how to implement them
• Service-to-service authentication and authorization
• And much more

Even if this is the first time coming across the term 'microservices', worry no more because this book takes a beginner friendly approach to ensure you understand everything you learn and can start putting it into action!
