Microservices Patterns - by Chris Richardson (Paperback)

About the Book

All aspects of software development and deployment become painfully slow. The solution is to adopt the microservice architecture. This architecture accelerates software development and enables continuous delivery and deployment of complex software applications.

Microservice Patterns teaches enterprise developers and architects how to build applications with the microservice architecture. This book also teaches readers how to refactor a monolithic application to a microservice architecture.

Key features

- In-depth guide

- Practical examples

- Step-by-step instructions

Readers should be familiar with the basics of enterprise application architecture, design, and implementation.

About The Book

Microservices Patterns teaches you 44 reusable patterns to reliably develop and deploy production-quality microservices-based applications. This invaluable set of design patterns builds on decades of distributed system experience, adding new patterns for composing services into systems that scale and perform under real-world conditions. More than just a patterns catalog, this practical guide with worked examples offers industry-tested advice to help you design, implement, test, and deploy your microservices-based application.

From the Back Cover

All aspects of software development and deployment become painfully slow. The solution is to adopt the microservices architecture. This architecture accelerates software development and enables continuous delivery and deployment of complex software applications. Microservices Patterns teaches enterprise developers and architects how to build applications with the microservice architecture. Rather than simply advocating for the use the microservice architecture, this clearly-written guide takes a balanced, pragmatic approach, exploring both the benefits and drawbacks.
Successfully developing microservices-based applications requires mastering a new set of architectural insights and practices. In this unique book, microservice architecture pioneer and Java Champion Chris Richardson collects, catalogues, and explains 44 patterns that solve problems such as service decomposition, transaction management, querying, and inter-service communication.
Microservices Patterns teaches you how to develop and deploy production-quality microservices-based applications. This invaluable set of design patterns builds on decades of distributed system experience, adding new patterns for writing services and composing them into systems that scale and perform reliably under real-world conditions. More than just a patterns catalog, this practical guide offers experience-driven advice to help you design, implement, test, and deploy your microservices-based application
