Microservices Patterns: Your Complete Handbook on Building Testable, Scalable, and Maintainable Microservices

Microservices, a form of software architecture approach, allows companies to deliver services and products faster, and with scalability and flexibility. The guiding principle of microservices is to build an application by breaking down its business components into smaller services, which can be deployed and operated independently from each other. This sets it apart from the more traditional, monolithic architecture wherein all components are bundled together.

Companies that successfully adopt the appropriate microservice patterns for their application can greatly increase the time it takes to convert their ideas into customer value, which sustains long-term customer relationships and generates revenue. This is because, with microservices, development teams do not have to rewrite and deploy the whole application when new features are added. In addition, it takes less time and is much easier to conduct continuous maintenance.

This book attempts to explore all you need to know regarding microservice architecture and patterns. It will assist you in making informed decisions, if you have plans to implement microservices architecture.
