Microservices, Self-contained Systems, and Continuous Delivery
Implement flexible architectural approaches such as microservices and self-contained systems. Learn how to use domain-driven design and continuous delivery to develop adaptable architectures that respond to changing requirements.
Demands on software are changing at an ever-increasing rate – and the architecture must react to this. This training provides modern, pragmatic approaches for flexible software architectures such as microservices and self-contained systems. Domain-driven design and the closely related strategic design show how bounded context and context maps can be used to partition even large applications in a serviceable and long-term way.
According to Conway’s law, an organization is interwoven with its architecture and can make a contribution to its flexibility. Continuous delivery is a further influencing factor, bringing software into production more quickly and reliably. This however is only possible with appropriate clean modularization. Continuous delivery also offers new tools for architects: infrastructures such as IaaS, PaaS, and virtualization open up new possibilities to make software more flexible. With the aid of metrics and logging, more information can be incorporated into the designing of the architecture.
Your Benefits
Knowledge of flexible architectural models is essential in the modernization of long-standing systems as well as in the design of new »greenfield« systems

Microservices Practical Guide – Fundamentals, Concepts, and Recipes
There are many technologies for microservices. This book covers the basics of microservices, the concepts behind the technologies, and finally specific recipes using technologies such as client- and server-side front-end integration, asynchronous microservices with Kafka or REST/Atom, synchronous systems with the Netflix stack and Consul, and microservices platforms with Kubernetes and Cloud Foundry. It also covers operation with monitoring using Prometheus, log analysis with the Elastic Stack, and tracing with Zipkin. The book thus offers a good introduction to microservices in practice.

Microservices – Fundamentals of flexible software architectures
Microservices divide software systems into a multitude of small services. This improves maintainability and scalability, promises sustainable development, easy integration into legacy systems, and also makes continuous delivery easier. However, microservices also lead to greater complexity and challenges during deployment. The book contains a comprehensive introduction to microservices and examines technologies as well as architecture and organizational implications. It also explains nanoservices as even smaller services.
