Strategic Monoliths and Microservices: Driving Innovation Using Purposeful Architecture, Vernon Vaughn, Jaskula Tomasz

Increasingly, organizations are modernizing application development by integrating open source technologies into a holistic architecture for delivering high-quality workloads to the cloud. This is a complete, step-by-step guide to building flexible microservices architecture by leveraging Microsoft Azure cloud services, together with key open source technologies such as Java, Node.JS, .NET Core and Angular. Through a realistic case study project, expert Microsoft engineers Ovais Mehboob Ahmed Khan and Arvind Chandaka guide you through every step of technical implementation required to achieve value: establishing end-to-end infrastructure, developing cloud-native applications, automating deployments, monitoring operations, and more.

Microsoft engineers Ovais Mehboob Ahmed Khan and Arvind Chandaka show how to:

• Define application features and business requirements, and map them onto microservices using modeling techniques
• Design microservices solution architecture that enables high-quality workloads
• Develop an application front-end, and build microservices with open source technologies
• Leverage Azure Kubernetes Services for Docker container orchestration
• Use various patterns to build reliable and resilient microservices
• Enforce microservices app security, and use Azure AD B2C for user authentication/authorization
• Establish an API gateway that provides a unified "front door" to back-end microservices
• Set up continuous integration and deployment with Azure DevOps
• Monitor microservices with Azure Monitor and Azure Application Insights

About This Book

Will help IT professionals build new applications, modernize existing systems, migrate workloads, improve app management, and more.

Microservices in Action is a practical book about building and deploying microservice-based applications. Written for developers and architects with a solid grasp of service-oriented development, it tackles the challenge of putting microservices into production.

Purchase of the print book includes a free eBook in PDF, Kindle, and ePub formats from Manning Publications.

About the Technology

Invest your time in designing great applications, improving infrastructure, and making the most out of your dev teams. Microservices are easier to write, scale, and maintain than traditional enterprise applications because they're built as a system of independent components. Master a few important new patterns and processes, and you'll be ready to develop, deploy, and run production-quality microservices.

About the Book

Microservices in Action teaches you how to write and maintain microservice-based applications. Created with day-to-day development in mind, this informative guide immerses you in real-world use cases from design to deployment. You'll discover how microservices enable an efficient continuous delivery pipeline, and explore examples using Kubernetes, Docker, and Google Container Engine.

What's inside

• An overview of microservice architecture
• Building a delivery pipeline
• Best practices for designing multi-service transactions and queries
• Deploying with containers
• Monitoring your microservices
