One of the biggest challenges for organizations that have adopted microservice architecture is the lack of architectural operational & organizational standardization After splitting a monolithic application or building a microservice ecosystem from scratch many engineers are left wondering what's next In this practical book author Susan Fowler presents a set of microservice standards in depth drawing from her experience standardizing over a thousand microservices at Uber You'll learn how to design microservices that are stable reliable scalable fault tolerant performant monitored documented & prepared for any catastrophe Explore production-readiness standards including Stability & Reliability develop deploy introduce & deprecate microservices; protect against dependency failures Scalability & Performance learn essential components for achieving greater microservice efficiency Fault Tolerance & Catastrophe Preparedness ensure availability by actively pushing microservices to fail in real time Monitoring learn how to monitor log & display key metrics; establish alerting & on-call procedures Documentation & Understanding mitigate tradeoffs that come with microservice adoption including organizational sprawl & technical debt
