Course “Fundamentals of Microservices”. Microservice is an important pattern in software architecture, and an overview of this architecture and how it differs from other models is critical as a starting point for evaluating this model. This course covers core microservices concepts to help you determine if this architectural model is right for you and your team. This course is usually divided into the following sections:
- Introduction. In this introduction, course instructor Frank Moley introduces microservices and explains their place in the history of software architecture.
- Basic concepts of microservices. In this section, you will learn about concepts such as services, how they interact, distribution and scalability, limited ranges, data domains as service boundaries, etc.
- Advanced microservice concepts. In this section, we’ll cover topics such as asynchronous communication, logging and tracking in microservices architecture, the importance of continuous deployment, and more.
- Choice of architecture. In the final part of the course, the teacher discusses the factors influencing the choice of architecture, advantages and disadvantages, as well as the concept of edge services and the implementation of DevOps.
What you will learn:
- History of microservice architecture and its relationship with other patterns of recent years.
- Key microservice concepts, including bounded contexts and the API layer.
- Some more advanced aspects of this architecture.
- The importance of adopting a DevOps culture if you want to move to microservices.
This course is suitable for people who:
- Are you a software developer and want to update your knowledge of software architecture?
- Software architects want to understand whether microservices are the right solution for their projects.
- Product managers who want to learn how architecture impacts product development.
