Interested in microservices, and how they can be used for increased agility and scalability?
Microservices is an architectural style and pattern that structures an application as a collection of coherent services. Each service is highly maintainable, testable, loosely coupled, independently deployable, and precisely focused.
This course takes a hands-on look at microservices using Python, Flask, and Docker. You'll learn how Flask can be used to quickly prototype and build microservices, as well as how to use Docker to host and deploy them.
We start by looking at various problems associated with monolithic architectures and how microservices address them. We then move on to designing and building a basic shopping cart system, focusing on each of the microservices that make up the overall system.
Learning Objectives
Obtain a solid understanding of microservices: the benefits, the challenges, and how using microservices differs from a monolithic approach
Learn how to design and build microservices using Python and Flask
Learn how to deploy microservices using Docker
Intended Audience
This course is intended for anyone who wants to build and deploy microservices using Python, Flask, and Docker.
Prerequisites
Python 3.x programming experience is required to get the most out of this course. If you want to follow along with this course, you'll need Python 3.7, an IDE (PyCharm Community Edition - free), and Docker (Docker Desktop).
