Course Overview

Microservices are one of the most important software architecture trends, but it’s one thing to define an architecture and quite another to implement it. This course focuses on the nitty-gritty details of real-world implementation. You’ll learn recipes for tech stacks that can be used to implement microservices, as well as the pros and cons of each. You’ll start by exploring some fundamental concepts for implementing microservices. Within each concept, you’ll learn about the different technologies used ...Show More
