Microservices are one of the most important and popular software architecture trends. This architecture forms the base for a lot of companies including: Amazon, Netflix, Spotify, and Uber. 

In this course you’ll learn microservices in depth and understand reasons for and against microservices. Beyond that, you’ll learn about Micro and Macro architecture, strategies for migrating old systems, the role of Docker in this architecture, and technologies for implementing microservices. 

After taking this course, you’ll be better equipped to implement microservices for your own use.

An Introduction to Microservice Principles and Concepts

## Why this course?

[Microservices](https://www.educative.io/courses/introduction-microservice-principles-concepts/introduction-N7Y2ZzKNl1p#microservices-definition) are one of the most important software architecture
trends. This course provides a detailed guide to microservices concepts. It lays the foundation for the reader to learn microservices technologies.


## Basic principles

To become familiar with microservices, an introduction into
microservices-based architectures and their benefits, disadvantages,
and variations is essential. However, **this course** explains the basic
principles only to the extent required for
understanding the **practical implementations**.

## Concepts

Microservices require **solutions for different challenges**. Among those
are concepts for **integration** (*frontend integration, synchronous and
asynchronous microservices*) and for **operation** (*monitoring, log
analysis, tracing*).  Microservices platforms such as *PaaS* or
*Kubernetes* represent exhaustive solutions for the operation of
microservices.


## Recipes

This course uses **recipes as a metaphor for the technologies**, which can be
used to implement the different concepts. Each approach shares a number of features with a recipe.

* Each recipe is described in *practical* terms, including an
example technical implementation.  The most important aspect of the
 examples is their *simplicity*.  Each example can be easily followed,
 extended, and modified.

* The course provides the reader a *plethora of recipes*. The
 readers have to *select* a specific recipe from this collection for
 their projects, akin to a cook who has to select a recipe for her or his menu.  The course shows different options. In practice, nearly every project has to be dealt with differently. The recipes build the basis for this.

* *Variations* exist for each recipe.  After all, a recipe can be cooked in many different ways. This is also true for the technologies described in this course. Sometimes the variations are very simple, so that they can be immediately implemented as *experiments* in an executable example.


## Source code

Sample code is provided in this course. If the reader wants to really understand the
technologies they should understand how the concepts are actually
implemented.
