Distributed systems have become more fine-grained in the past 10 years shifting from code-heavy monolithic applications to smaller self-contained microservices But developing these systems brings its own set of headaches With lots of examples & practical advice this book takes a holistic view of the topics that system architects & administrators must consider when building managing & evolving microservice architectures Microservice technologies are moving quickly Author Sam Newman provides you with a firm grounding in the concepts while diving into current solutions for modeling integrating testing deploying & monitoring your own autonomous services You'll follow a fictional company throughout the book to learn how building a microservice architecture affects a single domain Discover how microservices allow you to align your system design with your organization's goals Learn options for integrating a service with the rest of your system Take an incremental approach when splitting monolithic codebases Deploy individual microservices through continuous integration Examine the complexities of testing & monitoring distributed services Manage security with user-to-service & service-to-service models Understand the challenges of scaling microservice architectures
