Hands-On Microservices with Kubernetes is the book you have been waiting for. It will walk you though the parallel paths of developing microservices and deploying them on Kubernetes. The synergy between microservice-based architecture and Kubernetes is very powerful. This book covers all angles. It explains the concepts behind microservices and Kubernetes, discusses real-world concerns and trade-offs, takes you through the development of fully fledged microservice-based systems, shows you best practices, and provides ample recommendations.

This book covers an amazing amount of ground in great depth and with working code to illustrate. You will learn how to design a microservice-based architecture, build microservices, test the microservices you've built, and package them as Docker images. Then, you will learn how to deploy your system as a collection of Docker images to Kubernetes and manage it there.

Along the way, you will become familiar with most important trends to be aware of, such as automated continuous integration / continuous delivery (CI/CD) , gRPC-based microservices, serverless computing, and service meshes.

By the end of this book, you will have gained a lot of knowledge and hands-on experience with planning, developing, and operating large-scale cloud-native systems using microservice-based architecture deployed on Kubernetes.

This book is targeted at software developers and DevOps engineers who want to be at the forefront of large-scale software engineering. It will help if you have experience with large-scale software systems that are deployed using containers on more than one machine and are developed by several teams.
