About This Course

Going from a single application to a distributed system

In this course, you will learn how to split an existing application into smaller services and what you need to build, deploy, and run it. You will learn how you can use Docker to support your local development and how you can utilize it to run your application in the cloud. To work with multiple services, you will need (for example) service discovery and reverse proxies. To be able to maintain the development pace, you also need to break up your user interface, so every service can serve its own UI, and you need to learn how to communicate with these services synchronously using REST and asynchronously using events. To run your application, you need to know what is going on in your distributed application, so monitoring and tracing calls is an important topic as well, and one that you'll learn about. So overall, this course will give you valuable insights and recipes with which to create your own distributed application, for deployment to the cloud.

You will also see what needs to be done to upgrade a Spring Boot 1.x service to Spring Boot 2 with the recent Spring Cloud release.

Curso completo.
Mas penso que poderia ter mencionado que é a continuação de um curso anterior.
Tive bastantes dificuldades devido á versão do spring ser muito antiga.

The sources provided differ from what is presented in the course.
Videos regularly refer to earlier lessons that don't exist.
Although the instructor is very knowlegable, the course is hard to follow because of both the lack of having the same codebase and the strange structure of the videos.

Very confusing, the instructor doesn't tell where the code he is using came from what makes hard to follow, also the quality of the audio is really bad.

Awwh...very poor explanations, pace and actual content. Only the course content list looked good but from there....its not at all useful. If you are already an expert in micro-services and it deployment, may be you can create better course than this. Will be returning this course.

Let me start of by stating that this course contains a wealth of information, that is very much applicable to my day-to-day work. I very much enjoying the 'journey' from a monolith to a microservices architecture + all the pointers and the suggestions the instructor throws in...

Thank you for that.

Some feedback/suggestions

The Course is still a bit rough around the edges, and could certainly use a bit more explanation at times, for instance where to find the (proper) starting codebase.

The fact that there is, next to the provided zip file, a github repository for this code is not mentioned anywhere. When I found this github, it took me a while to realize the instructor was just using 1 branch (master) and you need to look into the revision history to see/look back at the changes. This could be improved by using/creating a new branch to checkout for every new lesson.

The course also feels like it was part of a bigger course, as sometimes it seems refer to 'lessons' (or even courses?) that are not there.
