Bootstrapping Microservices with Docker, Kubernetes, and Terraform A project-based guide

<b>Summary</b><br> The best way to learn microservices development is to build something! <i>Bootstrapping Microservices with Docker, Kubernetes, and Terraform</i> guides you from zero through to a complete microservices project, including fast prototyping, development, and deployment. You’ll get your feet wet using industry-standard tools as you learn and practice the practical skills you’ll use for every microservices application. Following a true bootstrapping approach, you’ll begin with a simple, familiar application and build up your knowledge and skills as you create and deploy a real microservices project.<br> <br> Purchase of the print book includes a free eBook in PDF, Kindle, and ePub formats from Manning Publications.<br> <br> <b>About the technology</b><br> Taking microservices from proof of concept to production is a complex, multi-step operation relying on tools like Docker, Terraform, and Kubernetes for packaging and deployment. The best way to learn the process is to build a project from the ground up, and that’s exactly what you’ll do with this book!<br> <br> <b>About the book</b><br> In <i>Bootstrapping Microservices with Docker, Kubernetes, and Terraform</i>, author Ashley Davis lays out a comprehensive approach to building microservices. You’ll start with a simple design and work layer-by-layer until you’ve created your own video streaming application. As you go, you’ll learn to configure cloud infrastructure with Terraform, package microservices using Docker, and deploy your finished project to a Kubernetes cluster.<br> <br> <b>What's inside</b><br> <br> Developing and testing microservices applications<br> Working with cloud providers<br> Applying automated testing<br> Implementing infrastructure as code and setting up a continuous delivery pipeline<br> Monitoring, managing, and troubleshooting<br> <br><b>About the reader</b><br> Examples are in JavaScript.
