As an introduction to this book, the following topics will be covered in this chapter:
- How I learned about microservices and what experience I have of their benefits and challenges
- What is a microservice-based architecture?
- Challenges with microservices
- Design patterns for handling challenges
- Software enablers that can help us handle these challenges
- Other important considerations that aren't covered in this book
