I am happy to announce release of my first book “Cloud Native Microservices with Spring and Kubernetes” with BPB Publications!! It’s all about design, build and deploy scalable cloud native microservices on container using the Spring framework and Kubernetes. Need your support! Please buy and review this book on Amazon. Also, share book detail with your IT software engineers colleagues and friends.
The main objective of this book is to give an overview of cloud-native microservices, their architecture, design patterns, best practices, use cases, and practical coverage of modern applications. This book covers a strong understanding of microservices, API first approach, Testing, Observability, API Gateway, Service Mesh, and Kubernetes alternatives of Spring Cloud. This book covers the implementation of various design patterns of developing cloud native microservices using Spring framework, docker and Kubernetes. It also covers containerization concepts and hands-on code exercises.
After reading this book, the readers will have a holistic understanding of building, running, and managing cloud native microservices applications on Kubernetes containers.
It’s the first book on this subject in India by any Indian writer, which is also economical than foreign publications. This book is about learning of software application design and development using Microservices, Spring and Kubernetes based technologies. It’s useful for software developers, cloud engineers, DevOps and technical architects.
