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 to implement it. The technologies include: Frontend Integration with Edge Side Includes (ESI), asynchronous microservices with Kafka and REST feeds, synchronous microservices with the Netflix stack and Consul, Docker, Kubernetes, Cloud Foundry. Each technology you learn about is described and then demonstrated with real code. 

By the end of this course, you’ll be a microservice pro. Whether you’re a software engineer or an engineering manager, this course will prove useful throughout your career.

Microservice Architecture: Practical Implementation

# Chapter walkthrough

This chapter explains how microservices can be integrated in the web
frontend.

* First, this chapter discusses *why* the web frontend of a microservices architecture should be modularized.

* *Single page apps (SPAs)* are difficult to modularize.

* *ROCA (resource-oriented client architecture)* is an approach for web
  UIs which supports modularization.

* Furthermore, this chapter covers the available *options* for
  integration.
  
* Finally, the *benefits* and *disadvantages* of the different integration options are discussed.


This chapter demonstrates how frontend integration can be implemented and for which scenarios this is the best approach.


---
In the next lesson, we'll look at how a monolithic frontend compares to a modular frontend.


In this lesson, we'll look at a quick introduction to frontend integration.
