Microservices

The Book

There are many technologies for microservices. This book shows the basics of microservices, the concepts of the most important technologies and finally concrete recipes with technologies such as client-side and server-side frontend integration, asynchronous microservices with Kafka or REST/Atom, synchronous systems with the Netflix stack and Consul or microservices platforms with Kubernetes and Cloud Foundry. In addition, there is the operation with monitoring with Prometheus, log analysis with the Elastic stack and tracing with Zipkin. The book thus offers a good start implementing microservices.
