What Will I Learn?

  • 🌟 Foundational Knowledge in Microservices:

    • πŸ—οΈ Understand the core principles and benefits of microservice architecture.
    • πŸ” Learn when and why to choose microservices over monolithic architectures.
    • πŸ“š Master essential concepts like API gateways, service discovery, event-driven architecture, and distributed data management & all key component & technologies.
  • πŸ› οΈ Practical Implementation:

    • πŸ’» Hands-on implementation of microservices using Golang.
    • ⚑ Real-time communication with WebSockets for low-latency updates.
    • πŸ”„ Implement asynchronous messaging, CQRS, and event sourcing.
    • πŸ“‘ Effective API versioning, request tracing, and logging with OpenTelemetry.
  • πŸš€ Advanced Insights:

    • πŸ”— Explore patterns like Saga, Circuit Breaker, and Outbox for fault tolerance.
    • βš™οΈ Optimize inter-service communication with WebSockets, gRPC, REST, and GraphQL.
    • ☁️ Deploy and manage microservices using Kubernetes, Docker, and service meshes like Istio.
    • 🏎️ Performance tuning, caching strategies, and database sharding in microservices.

Anything Extra to Add?

  • πŸ’‘ Golang-Specific Tips: Best practices for structuring Go microservices, handling concurrency, and optimizing WebSocket connections.
  • πŸ“Š Diagrams and Visual Aids: Architecture blueprints, sequence diagrams, and data flow visualizations.
  • 🌐 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! πŸŽ‰
