Preface

If we try to deploy our web applications into the cloud, it requires our code to interact with many third-party services. Using microservice architectures, you can build applications that will allow you to manage these interactions. However, this comes with its own set of challenges, since each set has its own complexity, and getting their interaction right isn't easy. This easy-to-follow guide covers techniques to help you overcome these challenges. You will learn how to best design, write, test, and deploy your microservices. The real-world examples will help Python developers create their own Python microservices using the most efficient methods. By the end of this book, you will have acquired the skills to craft applications that are built as small standard units, using all the proven best practices and avoiding the usual traps. Also, this is a useful guide for the vast community of Python developers who are shifting from monolithic design to the new microservice-based development paradigm.
