Microservices have become a popular way to build distributed systems that power modern web and mobile apps. Deploying your application as a suite of independently deployable, modular, and scalable services has many benefits. In this book, you ll learn to employ microservices in order to make your application more fault-tolerant and easier to scale and change.Using an example-driven approach, Microservice Development Cookbook introduces you to the microservice architectural style. You ll learn how to transition from a traditional monolithic application to a suite of small services that interact to provide smooth functionality to your client applications. You ll also learn about the patterns used to organize services, so you can optimize request handling and processing and see how to handle service-to-service interactions. You ll then move on to understanding how to secure microservices and add monitoring in order to debug problems. This book also covers fault-tolerance and reliability patterns that help you use microservices to isolate failures in your applications.By the end of the book, you’ll be able to work with a team to break a large, monolithic codebase into independently deployable and scalable microservices. You ll also study how to efficiently and effortlessly manage a microservice-based architecture.
