Building Microservices with Node.js

Venture into microservices with Node.js, uncovering step-by-step roadmaps, insightful demonstrations, and cutting-edge techniques to build robust web applications

Key Features:

- Explore microservices architecture and implement it using Node.js for robust web applications

- Follow clear, practical examples and real-world use cases to apply your knowledge and build your skills

- Excel in the world of software development and tackle complex challenges with confidence

- Purchase of the print or Kindle book includes a free PDF eBook

Book 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.

What You Will Learn:

- Design domain-oriented microservices using domain-driven design (DDD)

- Understand collaboration techniques for inter-microservice communication and learn how to design an API gateway

- Automate microservice integration and deployment

- Split a monolith safely into microservices and understand how to test microservices effectively

- Use and implement microservices in Kubernetes and Docker environments

- Get to grips with best practices for maintaining microservices at scale

Who this book is 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.
