The Tao of Microservices

Microservices are small, but they offer big value. A microservice is a

very small piece of a larger system that can be coded by one developer

within one iteration. Microservices can be added and removed

individually, new developers can be immediately productive, and

legacy code is easily replaced. Developers are no longer hampered by

the communication and coordination overhead caused by monolithic

systems. Savvy businesses are discovering that software development

productivity can be greatly enhanced with the right engineering

approach that enables even junior developers to double their

productivity, while reducing delivery risk.

understanding how to apply microservices architecture in their realworld

projects. This high-level book offers a conceptual view of

microservice architectures, along with core concepts and their

application. It also includes a detailed case study for the nodezoo.com

system, including all source code and documentation. By the end of the

book, readers will have explored in depth the key ideas of the

microservice architecture and will be able to design, analyze and

implement systems based on this architecture.

This book is for developers, architects, or managers who want to deliver

faster, meet changing business requirements, and build scalable and robust

systems.
