Publisher's Synopsis
Microservices, a form of software architecture approach, allows companies to deliver services and products faster, and with scalability and flexibility. The guiding principle of microservices is to build an application by breaking down its business components into smaller services, which can be deployed and operated independently from each other. This sets it apart from the more traditional, monolithic architecture wherein all components are bundled together.
Companies that successfully adopt the appropriate microservice patterns for their application can greatly increase the time it takes to convert their ideas into customer value, which sustains long-term customer relationships and generates revenue. This is because, with microservices, development teams do not have to rewrite and deploy the whole application when new features are added. In addition, it takes less time and is much easier to conduct continuous maintenance.
In this Microservice Technologies book, you will discover a great detail on all of the Microservice Architecture patterns including:
- Monolithic Architecture
- Microservice Architecture
- Service Discovery
- Gateway / Proxy API
- Orchestrated API
- Service Registration
- CQRS and Event Sourcing
- Bulk Heads
- Circuit Breaker
- Message Broker
Besides, you'll also learn about what technologies you need to use and understand for successful Microservices:
- Virtualization
- Containers (Docker and Rocket)
- Databases
- Security (JSON Web Tokens)
- Logging
- Exceptions
- Caching
- Timeouts
- Scalability (CAP, Cube)
- Platform as a Service (PaaS)
- Cloud architecture
- Technology agnostic
Whether you are a software architect/developer or systems professional looking to move on from older approaches or a manager trying to maximize the business value of these technologies, this book is a must-read.
