A smarter way to learn with interactive, real-time conversations that help you test your knowledge, challenge assumptions, and deepen your understanding as you progress through the course. In this course, you will learn how to build robust microservices using Spring Boot and Spring Cloud. You'll start by understanding the limitations of traditional monolithic architectures and then explore the powerful microservices approach. You'll go step by step from setting up your environment to creating your first microservice and implementing advanced features like service discovery, load balancing, and fault tolerance. As you progress, you will develop a deep understanding of microservices architecture, best practices, and how to leverage Spring Cloud tools for building scalable, reliable systems. By the end of the course, you'll be able to create complex microservices applications and deploy them with Spring Cloud, handling issues like configuration management and distributed tracing along the way. This course also covers critical concepts such as reactive programming using Spring WebFlux, resilience with Hystrix and Resilience4j, and log aggregation using the ELK stack. You'll gain hands-on experience with microservices components such as Eureka for service discovery, Netflix Ribbon for load balancing, and Spring Cloud Config Server for externalized configuration. Whether you're building a new application or modernizing an existing one, the skills you'll develop here are highly applicable for real-world projects. The course is designed for anyone interested in learning Spring Boot and Spring Cloud in the context of microservices, from developers to architects looking to improve system scalability and reliability.
