Chapter 12. Deploying microservices

This chapter covers:

The four key deployment patterns, how they work, and their benefits and drawbacks:
- Language-specific packaging format
- Deploying a service as a VM
- Deploying a service as a container
- Serverless deployment
Deploying services with Kubernetes
Using a service mesh to separate deployment from release
Deploying services with AWS Lambda
Picking a deployment pattern

Mary and her team at FTGO are almost finished writing their first service. Although it’s not yet feature complete, it’s running on developer laptops and the Jenkins CI server. But that’s not good enough. Software has no value to FTGO until it’s running in production and available to users. FTGO needs to deploy their service into ...

Head of Cybersecurity

I wanted to learn C and C++, but it didn't click for me until I picked up an O'Reilly book. When I went on the O’Reilly platform, I was astonished to find all the books there, plus live events and sandboxes so you could play around with the technology.

Addison B.

Field Engineer

I’ve been on the O’Reilly platform for more than eight years. I use a couple of learning platforms, but I'm on O'Reilly more than anybody else. When you're there, you start learning. I'm never disappointed.

Amir M.

Data Platform Tech Lead

I'm always learning. So when I got on to O'Reilly, I was like a kid in a candy store. There are playlists. There are answers. There's on-demand training. It's worth its weight in gold, in terms of what it allows me to do.
