Additional Information

This course is for you if

  • you are considering microservices for your organization,
  • you want to better understand microservices,
  • you want to migrate to microservices,
  • you want hands-on experience in building microservices with Node.js.

Prerequisites

No prior experience with microservices is required - Peter will cover everything you need to get started. Prior Javascript and Node.js experience is nice to have - you will understand the coding part a lot easier, as Peter won't go into the basics of Node.js
