Leveraging the JavaScript and Node.js Ecosystem for Microservices Development

The ecosystem of JavaScript and Node.js is of significant importance for developers and businesses. The JavaScript and Node.js ecosystem’s importance lies in its ability to empower developers, drive innovation, provide extensive resources, and foster collaboration.

We’ll start this chapter by mastering the JavaScript ecosystem for microservices development. To start developing microservices using Node.js, you need to leverage its ecosystem, and by doing this, you will learn about its vast package management, tools and libraries, and development collaboration, while maintaining a high development productivity rate with critical thinking. As a result, you will be able to develop cross-platform applications, integrating with databases, messaging systems, cloud services, and third-party APIs (application programming interfaces).

By the end of this chapter, you will have learned how to leverage...
