Book Description

– Immerse yourself in the world of microservices with this guide to migration from a monolithic architecture to microservices.

– With this book, you’ll acquire a deep understanding of microservices architecture and apply it confidently in your web application projects.

– As you progress, you’ll be guided through the process of creating a simple application and incorporating the Node.js framework into it, along with its commonly used libraries.

– You’ll learn how the framework operates, how to configure it, and how to develop handlers for the web framework and explore how to deploy your application to a production server.

– Get to grips with the intricacies of JavaScript and Node.js and find out how to approach microservices in Node.js, implement them effectively, and integrate RESTful APIs.

– Gain insights into service-to-service authentication and authorization and learn how to work with databases and caching, as well as with monitoring and logging in microservices with Node.js.

– By the end of this microservices book, you’ll be able to develop a web app using the Node.js framework, configure it, extend it using libraries available for this framework, and launch it using best practices.

What you will learn

• Design domain-oriented microservices using domain-driven design (DDD)
• Understand collaboration techniques for inter-microservice communication and learn how to design an API gateway
• Automate microservice integration and deployment
• Split a monolith safely into microservices and understand how to test microservices effectively
• Use and implement microservices in Kubernetes and Docker environments
• Get to grips with best practices for maintaining microservices at scale

Who this book is for

– This book is for backend developers, full-stack developers, software architects, and frontend developers who want to venture into the world of backend development and extend their capabilities.

– A fundamental understanding of the JavaScript ecosystem will be helpful but not necessary, as this book will cover the essentials of backend development, JavaScript programming, and Node.js.
