Microservices: Up and Running: A Step-by-Step Guide to Building a Microservices Architecture

by Ronnie Mitra, Irakli Nadareishvili

Microservices architectures offer faster change speeds, better scalability, and cleaner, evolvable system designs. But implementing your first microservices architecture is difficult. How do you make myriad choices, educate your team on all the technical details, and navigate the organization to a successful execution to maximize your chance of success? With this book, authors Ronnie Mitra and Irakli Nadareishvili provide step-by-step guidance for building an effective microservices architecture. Architects and engineers will follow an implementation journey based on techniques and architectures that have proven to work for microservices systems. You'll build an operating model, a microservices design, an infrastructure foundation, and two working microservices, then put those pieces together as a single implementation. For anyone tasked with building microservices or a microservices architecture, this guide is invaluable.

This is a no nonsense, easy to follow and clearly written step by step guide to building, sustainable micro services. For those looking for a jumping in point look no further.

I particularly love the emphasis on CI/CD and automation. I don’t think I can think of two more important building blocks for creating sustainable, maintainable software.

I really enjoyed this book, and it taught me a lot, but as with any technical guide that relies on other applications, it seems to have suffered over time. Some approaches and commands for Terraform, AWS, and GitHub Actions are no longer supported. I did a ton of troubleshooting, and I'm sure the overall approach is possible, but I couldn't find a way to make it work properly on my first reading.

I may pick it back up at some point and try again from the beginning, but I'm giving it a lower score strictly because I had such a hard time getting the 'step-by-step' set up to work in 2024. Anyone purchasing the book should be prepared to go through some extensive troubleshooting and other research.

The overall design approach is extremely interesting and well-articulated.

Not a bad book, really. Some chapters were in fact very good. Others too soft. I was expecting a bit more given the overall rating and the fact it comes from O'Reilly (and not Packt)

Good read. Surprisingly short and to the point. The "philosophy" and principles part is well articulated. The implementation part is a-ok!
