About the Course: Redesigning a Monolithic App as Microservices

During the course of these two days, we will cover a high-level architectural overview of what is needed to design, develop and maintain an application built with microservices.

We will examine a microservices application developed adhering to current best practices, deploy it on Kubernetes and add the necessary infrastructural elements to make it resilient and self-healing.

This training is also available as an in-house, on-site opportunity.

In case you have any questions about the agenda or the on-site option, you can reach us at info@risingstack.com

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.

Prerequisites

  • Prior Node.js knowledge is nice to have as we will take tooling examples from its ecosystem.

  • Prior Kubernetes or any other container orchestration system knowledge is nice to have. You will understand the technological background a lot better, though we can have a quick Kubernetes crash course in the beginning if need be.

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

  • A laptop with an Unix based OS

  • Docker installed

  • Minikube installed

  • kubectl installed

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