Additional Information

Why learn from RisingStack?

We provide professional development, training and consulting services from the early days of Node, and help companies like Lufthansa, Cisco & LogMeIn to thrive with our favorite technology.

We've spent the previous 3 years with writing books, long-form tutorials & holding trainings. Our experts have written more than 150 articles on the topics of Node.js, Microservices & Security.

Our blog is one of the main resources Node developers turn to in trouble - this is why more than 150.000 engineers read our content each month.

RisingStack has been named as one of the leading Node.js companies of the Battery Open-Source Software Index in TechCrunch’s “Tracking the explosive growth of open-source software” analysis. We’re also part of the Node Foundation, and contributors to the core of Node.js.

This course is for you if

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

Prerequisites

  • Prior Javascript and Node.js experience is nice to have. You will understand the coding part a lot easier, as we won't go into the basics of Node.js

  • No prior experience with microservices is required - we will cover everything you need to get started.

The exact location of the venue in London will be announced later.
