Getting Started with Microservices and Serverless
NewDo you wonder how computers can be “serverless”? Does “microservices” seem like just another buzzword? These two technologies are actually changing software design and operations. They work together to help solve complex problems by breaking them down into smaller pieces through loose coupling and modularization. Where some traditional software design techniques required assembling a monolithic piece of software on a platform, a microservices architecture and a serverless programming paradigm focus more on how to keep the pieces independent, orthogonal in function, and interconnected efficiently. In this hands-on tutorial we’ll look at useful design principles to use when implementing them, the underlying technologies needed to make them work effectively, and how they differ from monolithic techniques. You’ll gain an understanding of how to create simple applications, basic troubleshooting skills, limitations in the underlying implementation, and an idea of what to monitor in a production implementation.
