Overview
Microservices—an approach to distributed systems that promotes the use of finely grained services that can be changed, deployed, and released independently—have reached a level of maturity within the software development ecosystem. (And tools and engineering practices have evolved in tandem to make distributed development easier.) Microservices work incredibly well for organizations that are moving toward more loosely coupled systems, with autonomous teams delivering user-facing functionality. Beyond this, microservices provide a huge number of options for building out systems, giving you the flexibility to ensure your system can change to meet the needs of your users.
But while microservices simplify business logic, they bring increased complexity (even for experienced developers), in areas like networking, security, communication styles, team structure, and more.
Join us for expert-led sessions that will demystify this complexity, covering the tools, patterns, techniques, engineering practices, and other pieces that will allow microservices development teams to rocket to the next level.
What you’ll learn and how you can apply it- Understand how observability can help keep your microservices running smoothly
- Explore contract-driven development and learn how it can help you identify compatibility issues earlier in the development lifecycle
- Discover how Twitch moved from a monolith to microservices
- You're a software architect or developer working on or thinking about working on a microservices-style architecture and want to learn best practices for deploying microservices.
- You want to effectively leverage the benefits microservices bring.
Recommended follow-up:
- Listen to Microservices Patterns (audiobook) or read the book
- Read Building Microservices, second edition (book)
- Watch The Principles of Microservices (video)

O’Reilly covers everything we've got, with content to help us build a world-class technology community, upgrade the capabilities and competencies of our teams, and improve overall team performance as well as their engagement.Julian F.
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.
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.
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.
