Understanding Microservices | A Technical Overview

What You’ll Learn

Microservices continues the evolution of systems and applications being decomposed into smaller components that work together to accomplish larger business tasks and services. Microservices are single purpose, autonomous, and independently deployable.

This course provides a solid understanding of what microservices bring to the table and how to facilitate the implementation, deployment, and management of microservices.

Students are taken on an in-depth tour of the basic microservices concepts as well as how they relate to SOA and other architectural styles. They will examine the challenges associated with microservices as well as how to identify and design them. The course then moves into designing and building REST-based services and working those services using various components. The course addresses additional challenges such as scaling, monitoring, securing, and containerizing microservices.

Working in a dynamic, interactive discussion and demo environment, led by our experienced services professional, students will be able to:

• · Explain the issues associated large, monolithic applications and how microservices present an opportunity to address many of those issues.
• · Understand the relationships between microservices and SOA, SOAP services, and other recent initiatives.
• · Implement RESTful microservices that take advantage of containers and the declarative nature of assembling simple components into executable entities.
• · Work with implemented microservices to package, deploy, and manage them.
• · Understand and work with the Cloud to scale microservices
• · Containerize microservices using Docker
• · Recognize and use best practices relative to designing and working with microservices
• · If time permits, there is also coverage of OAuth and OpenID

Need different skills or topics? If your team requires different topics or tools, additional skills or custom approach, this course may be easily adjusted to accommodate. We offer additional services, programming, design and security courses which may be blended with this course for a track that best suits your development objectives. Our team will collaborate with you to understand your needs and will target the course to focus on your specific learning objectives and goals.
