Updated: March 2025

What Will I Learn?
-
π Foundational Knowledge in Microservices:
- ποΈ Understand the core principles and benefits of microservice architecture.
- π Learn when and why to choose microservices over monolithic architectures.
- π Master essential concepts like API gateways, service discovery, event-driven architecture, and distributed data management & all key component & technologies.
-
π οΈ Practical Implementation:
- π» Hands-on implementation of microservices using Golang.
- β‘ Real-time communication with WebSockets for low-latency updates.
- π Implement asynchronous messaging, CQRS, and event sourcing.
- π‘ Effective API versioning, request tracing, and logging with OpenTelemetry.
-
π Advanced Insights:
- π Explore patterns like Saga, Circuit Breaker, and Outbox for fault tolerance.
- βοΈ Optimize inter-service communication with WebSockets, gRPC, REST, and GraphQL.
- βοΈ Deploy and manage microservices using Kubernetes, Docker, and service meshes like Istio.
- ποΈ Performance tuning, caching strategies, and database sharding in microservices.
Anything Extra to Add?
- π‘ Golang-Specific Tips: Best practices for structuring Go microservices, handling concurrency, and optimizing WebSocket connections.
- π Diagrams and Visual Aids: Architecture blueprints, sequence diagrams, and data flow visualizations.
- π Ready-to-Run Code: Downloadable and fully functional microservices projects/practical implementation with real-world examples, including WebSocket-based communication.
New microservice topics, will be added over time with practical and production-ready implementations. Stay tuned! π
