Building Microservices

Designing Fine-Grained Systems

Resumen del Editor

Newly adapted for audiobook listeners.

As organizations shift from monolithic applications to smaller, self-contained microservices, distributed systems have become more fine-grained. But developing these new systems brings its own host of problems. This expanded second edition takes a holistic view of topics that you need to consider when building, managing, and scaling microservices architectures.

Through clear examples and practical advice, author Sam Newman gives everyone from architects and developers to testers and IT operators a firm grounding in the concepts. You'll dive into the latest solutions for modeling, integrating, testing, deploying, and monitoring your own autonomous services. Real-world cases reveal how organizations today manage to get the most out of these architectures.

Microservices technologies continue to move quickly. This book brings you up to speed.

• Get new information on user interfaces, container orchestration, and serverless
• Align system design with your organization's goals
• Explore options for integrating a service with your system
• Understand how to independently deploy microservices
• Examine the complexities of testing and monitoring distributed services
• Manage security with expanded content around user-to-service and service-to-service models

Practical and honest

I loved it. Very easy to listen to text and performance-wise.

As opposed to many tech books, the author shares his personal experience and opinions of different approaches. I find reasoned opinions very valuable and tech books often lack those.

The book is honest. It's not an advertisement for microservices. It explains where they might work and where they don't and what difficulties there are even in cases where they are a good fit.

Awesome intro to all aspects of microservices

Awesome for audiobook. Good candidate as a first book for people who never worked before on microservicies.

Very good practical tips

great read. learned some interesting things. I can not wait to use the techniques

Great primer for distributed systems

Even though this book is titled Building Microservices, it is a great book for understanding distributed systems when building internet-based applications. It does a good job of going over trade offs and making the connections for why microservices are being built today.

Exceptionally robust and objective

This is a guide that challenges all the micro services hype and instead provides an objective decision making framework for when and how micro services make sense. As a listener you can’t help but be engaged and reflective on the decisions you have to make in your org. He clearly is an expert in creating spaces in orgs for devs and products to grow and scale.

Excellent!

More than just a primer on Microservices, this book gives significant insights into the technical concepts that support a solid implementation.

Great overview that has me coming back

The author does a great job giving an overview of the technology, challenges, and decisions associated with microservices and giving the pros and cons. Great for someone like looking for an introduction to what microservices are all about.

Then audio book is well read, and easy to listen to.

My only complaint is the length, but I'm not sure what could be cut out.

EDIT: I find myself revisiting this book. It's great for reasoning through the many design and technology choices available these days.

Easy to Understand

Sam is modest and funny which makes it easy to follow. The book covers a lot of areas and might seem shallow, but he recommends good books for each one so we can dive deeper if we want. Also, the narrator did a great job to rephrase some of the contents to convey the message to the listener instead of reading the code or pointing to a picture or diagram.

Amazing book for Tech Professionals

This book is really helpful for understanding systems engineering concepts related to micro services. I highly recommend this book for preparing for interviews or gaining some insights before starting a new project involving micro services and service oriented architecture (distributed vs monolithic).
