Description

– Immerse yourself in the world of microservices with this guide to migration from a monolithic architecture to microservices. – With this book, you’ll acquire a deep understanding of microservices architecture and apply it confidently in your web application projects. – As you progress, you’ll be guided through the process of creating a simple application and incorporating the Node.js framework into it, along with its commonly used libraries. – You’ll learn how the framework operates, how to configure it, and how to develop handlers for the web framework and explore how to deploy your application to a production server. – Get to grips with the intricacies of JavaScript and Node.js and find out how to approach microservices in Node.js, implement them effectively, and integrate RESTful APIs. – Gain insights into service-to-service authentication and authorization and learn how to work with databases and caching, as well as with monitoring and logging in microservices with Node.js. – By the end of this microservices book, you’ll be able to develop a web app using the Node.js framework, configure it, extend it using libraries available for this framework, and launch it using best practices.

Who is this book for?

– This book is for backend developers, full-stack developers, software architects, and frontend developers who want to venture into the world of backend development and extend their capabilities. – A fundamental understanding of the JavaScript ecosystem will be helpful but not necessary, as this book will cover the essentials of backend development, JavaScript programming, and Node.js.

This book provides valuable insights into designing, developing, and deploying microservices using Node.js. Below, I’ll cover the key aspects of the book, its strengths, and areas for improvement:General Introduction: “Building Microservices with Node.js” by David Herron is a practical guide for developers, architects, and system engineers who want to build scalable, resilient, and distributed systems using Node.js. The book covers essential concepts, best practices, and real-world examples related to microservices architecture.Key Topics Covered:Microservices Fundamentals: The book starts by explaining the core principles of microservices, emphasizing autonomy, bounded context, decentralization, and resilience.Node.js Basics: It introduces Node.js fundamentals, including asynchronous programming, event-driven architecture, and the JavaScript ecosystem.Designing Microservices: The author discusses how to break down monolithic applications into smaller, independent services and design them effectively.Communication Strategies: The book covers API contracts, RESTful services, and asynchronous messaging patterns.Data Management and Security: It explores data storage engines (e.g., MySQL, MongoDB) and security considerations.Monitoring and Observability: The author explains monitoring, logging, and analyzing log data in microservices.Serverless Architectures: The book touches on serverless concepts and their integration with microservices.Strengths:Practical Approach: The book provides hands-on examples, code snippets, and real-world scenarios, making it accessible for developers.Node.js Focus: It leverages Node.js as the primary runtime environment, catering to developers familiar with JavaScript.Structured Content: Each chapter follows a logical progression, building on previous concepts.Useful Tips: The author shares practical tips, best practices, and pitfalls to avoid.Areas for Improvement:Depth of Coverage: While the book covers essential topics, some readers might desire more in-depth exploration of specific areas.Advanced Topics: Advanced readers may seek additional content on microservices deployment, Kubernetes, and service mesh integration.Summary: “Building Microservices with Node.js” is a valuable resource for anyone interested in microservices architecture. It strikes a balance between theory and practical implementation, making it suitable for both beginners and experienced developers. While it doesn’t delve into every advanced topic, it provides a solid foundation for building microservices using Node.js.In summary, if you’re looking to enhance your microservices skills with Node.js, this book is a worthwhile read1. Whether you’re a developer, architect, or system engineer, the practical insights and examples will empower you to create robust, scalable systems in the ever-evolving world of microservices.Thank you

I highly recommend this book for anyone interested in diving into Node.js applications. It really helps put things into perspective on how microservices architecture is built from the ground up. It’s like a toolkit that shows you how to build the kind of systems that are powering most of the market’s services today. The way it's written makes it super accessible, especially if you're just starting out. Plus, the quality of the book is top-notch, complete with all the extras you need to get a solid grasp of the material.

My initial impression is that this book is not only for server-side developers but also covers topics that would interest client-side developers who are curious about understanding the other side of the story.This book is intended for readers with intermediate to advanced knowledge. The material assumes a clear basic understanding of how web technology and RESTful APIs work.Even though the book aims to explain advanced web technologies, particularly Microservices through Node.js, it predominantly focuses on theoretical explanations, making it universally understandable for anyone seeking to grasp the theory and best practices including:- Design domain-specific microservices using domain-driven design (DDD)- Learn how to facilitate communication between microservices and design an API gateway- Automate the integration and deployment of microservices- Safely transition from a monolithic architecture to microservices and understand effective testing strategies for microservices- Implement microservices in Kubernetes and Docker environments- Understand best practices for scaling and maintaining microservicesThe book is logically divided into 16 chapters. The author, Daniel Kapexhiu, begins by introducing Microservices and gradually delves into advanced topics such as understanding, designing, caching, security, and finally, logging and monitoring.In conclusion, the book is a comprehensive resource that benefits not only for server-side developers who would like to expand their knowledge and understanding of the Microservices Architecture but also for any client-side developer who would like to develop a clear understanding of the server-side for better coordination.

Can I download the code files for Early Access titles? Chevron down icon Chevron up icon

We try to ensure that all books in Early Access have code available to use, download, and fork on GitHub. This helps us be more agile in the development of the book, and helps keep the often changing code base of new versions and new technologies as up to date as possible. Unfortunately, however, there will be rare cases when it is not possible for us to have downloadable code samples available until publication.

When we publish the book, the code files will also be available to download from the Packt website.

How accurate is the publication date? Chevron down icon Chevron up icon

The publication date is as accurate as we can be at any point in the project. Unfortunately, delays can happen. Often those delays are out of our control, such as changes to the technology code base or delays in the tech release. We do our best to give you an accurate estimate of the publication date at any given time, and as more chapters are delivered, the more accurate the delivery date will become.

How will I know when new chapters are ready? Chevron down icon Chevron up icon

We'll let you know every time there has been an update to a course that you've bought in Early Access. You'll get an email to let you know there has been a new chapter, or a change to a previous chapter.
