Build a microservices application from scratch, layer by layer. This book teaches the tools and techniques you need.

In Bootstrapping Microservices, Second Edition you’ll get hands-on experience with microservices development skills like:

Creating, configuring, and running a microservice with Node.js
Building and publishing a microservice using Docker
Applying automated testing
Running a microservices application in development with Docker Compose
Deploying microservices to a production Kubernetes cluster
Implementing infrastructure as code and setting up a continuous delivery pipeline
Monitoring, managing, and troubleshooting

Bootstrapping Microservices with Docker, Kubernetes, and Terraform has helped thousands of developers create their first microservices applications. This fully revised second edition introduces the industry-standard tools and practical skills you’ll use for every microservices application. Author Ashley Davis’s friendly advice and guidance helps you make pragmatic choices that will cut down the learning curve for Docker, Terraform, and Kubernetes.

Learning Kubernetes was especially hard. From the outside, it seemed incredibly difficult to penetrate. But I had a job to do, and I needed a way to deliver software, so I pushed on. The going was tough, and I almost gave up on Kubernetes a few times. Terraform is the tool that allowed me to describe the infrastructure of my application. I began writing infrastructure as code, and it felt like I had moved to the big leagues.

About the technology:
Taking a microservices application from proof of concept to production is a multi-step operation that relies on tools like Docker, Terraform, and Kubernetes. The best way to learn the whole process is to build a project from the ground up. That’s exactly what you’ll do in this book!

About the book:
Bootstrapping Microservices, Second Edition is a guide to microservices and cloud-native distributed applications. It demystifies technical choices and gives you a clear, comprehensive approach to building microservices. In it, you’ll learn how to configure cloud infrastructure with Terraform, package microservices using Docker, and deploy your finished project to a Kubernetes cluster.

As you go, you’ll build your own video streaming service to see how everything fits together in a complete application. Plus, this fully revised new edition contains updated coverage of continuous delivery for GitHub Actions. It also includes expanded coverage of Kubernetes, including an easy guide to Kuberbetes deployment along with guidance for implementing infrastructure as code.

Building applications with microservices—building distributed applications—can be a complicated process and difficult to learn. If you’re thrown into a modern, complex application, it can be difficult to see the forest for the trees. There’s so much more to consider than simply coding, and this isn’t an easy journey to take on your own. To use microservices, we must understand how to build a distributed application. But, by itself, that’s not enough. We also must learn the deep and complex tools that are necessary to develop, test, and deploy such an application. How do we assemble a robust toolkit for development? Where do we start?

Along the way are many more questions: How do we package and deploy a microservice? How do we configure our development environment for local testing? How do we get our microservices communicating with each other, and how do we manage the data? Most importantly, how do we deploy our microservices to production? Then, once in production, how do we manage, monitor, and fix problems with potentially hundreds of microservices?

This book, Bootstrapping Microservices, Second Edition, answers these questions and more! It’s your guide to building an application with microservices, using the latest tools. We’ll start from nothing and go all the way to a working microservices application running in production.

You won’t find much theory in this book. Bootstrapping Microservices, Second Edition, is practical and project based. Together, we’ll work through numerous examples of microservices, eventually getting to production, and covering everything you need to know to be a confident microservices developer.

About the reader:
Examples are in javascript. No experience with microservices, Kubernetes, Terraform, or Docker required.
