Microservices From Design to Deployment

by Chris Richardson, Floyd Earl Smith

Microservices architecture is the new standard for building applications. Converting your apps to a microservices approach makes them more flexible, more stable, and far faster and easier to update. However, questions arise as to how to make the transition.

The seven-part series on microservices development published in the NGINX blog provided many of the answers. Now, we have created an ebook that combines these blog posts with information on how to use NGINX Plus to bring microservices to life as you develop and deploy your apps.

[Robson Castilho · Rating 3 out of 5]

A very basic overview of microservices encompassing some main topics: API gateways, inter-process comunication, service discovery, event-driven data management, deployment strategies and refactoring a monolith into microservices (and, of course, advertising for Nginx products and services at the end of each chapter).

Collection of blog articles related to microservices worth reading! Better than most of the "short" introductory minibooks around.

I had some previous knowledge of microservices but this book helped me go deeper and understand more of the layers involved with the creation, management and deployment of microservices. It’s a very good book and the writing is very straightforward so it’s very easy to understand and digest. Read it if you have only heard about microservices or you want to know a little more about many of the aspects involved with them.

A very good introduction to microservices. This eBook is a collection of articles from the 8-part series published on the Nginx blog. I must say, this book provides good reference material for designing and deploying microservices.
The only reason I am not giving it 4 stars is that this book is not accompanied by practical code examples. A sample code example with every chapter would have been a great addition.

If you are trying to understand all those concepts and technologies behind the microservices buzz, and is looking for some reference that can give a good overview, this book can be a good start. It's intended for beginners and it didactically explains some of the majors aspects of microservices architecture. Just don't mind the NGINX advertising.

This book is an awesome starting guide. In such a small number of pages, it intelligently explained the core and necessary concepts. You should read this book if you are new to Microservices and want to know from where to start.

Microservices concept became clearer after reading this book as compared to searching for the meaning online where info was scattered all over. It is well structured and provides sound advice on moving from monolithic to microservices architecture.

This 74 page book (collection of blog posts) can be a very good starting point to learn microservices.
