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.
As there are many pitfalls one might be led to following a naïve approach we will cover a lot of design principles. For trying them out check out our hands-on Kubernetes courses.
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
The exact location of the venue in will be announced later.
