Microservice Architecture with the Netflix Stack and Spring Cloud

Building distributed systems requires a solid understanding of how independent services communicate, discover each other, and handle failures. This text-based course guides you through the foundational patterns of microservices architecture. You will learn how to design, configure, and maintain a robust ecosystem of services that remain stable under heavy load. What you will learn: - Understand the core principles of microservices, service registry, and dynamic discovery. - Configure Eureka for central service registration and client-side lookup. - Implement client-side load balancing to distribute traffic efficiently using Ribbon. - Set up Zuul as an API gateway to route requests, manage security, and handle cross-cutting concerns. - Build resilient systems with Hystrix circuit breakers to prevent cascading failures. - Explore modern evolutions in the ecosystem, including Spring Cloud Gateway and Resilience4j. You will start with essential microservice terminology and architectural patterns before moving into step-by-step configuration guides. Through clear written explanations and practical configuration examples, you will see how these components work together in a production-ready environment. This course is designed for software developers, system architects, and backend engineers who are new to microservices. No prior experience with distributed systems is required, though a basic understanding of Java and web development is helpful.
