Microservices: Flexible Software Architecture

The Most Complete, Practical, and Actionable Guide to Microservices

Going beyond mere theory and marketing hype, Eberhard Wolff presents all the knowledge needed to capture the full benefits of this emerging paradigm. He illuminates microservice concepts, architectures, and scenarios from a technology-neutral standpoint, and demonstrates how to implement them with today’s leading technologies such as Docker, Java, Spring Boot, the Netflix stack, and Spring Cloud.

The author fully explains the benefits and tradeoffs associated with microservices, and guides readers through the entire project lifecycle: development, testing, deployment, operations, and more. Readers will find best practices for architecting microservice-based systems, individual microservices, and nanoservices, each illuminated with pragmatic examples. The author supplements opinions based on his experience with concise essays from other experts, enriching understanding and illuminating areas where experts disagree. Readers are challenged to experiment on their own the concepts explained in the book to gain hands-on experience.
