How To Build a Microservice Application
Or How To Build Anything You Want — Part 1
By using the microservice architecture, Docker and Node.js, you can easily build an automated system. And that is what we are going to do here.
Docker and Node.js are without a doubt two of the most discussed technologies in the last few years. And with good reason. Both meant a huge boost in web development advancement. You can build practically anything you want by using Docker and Node.js. Yes, even a bot.
Microservices are an alternative architectural approach of building stable and reliable applications. Once you understand the mechanics behind them, they are also much easier to understand. Microservice applications are also easier to maintain, since each microservice is a small, self-containing entity that can be isolated and tested separately.
In this article series we will build a fully fledged microservice application consisting of four microservices, a messaging bus between them and a dashboard, that will show you information in real-time.
TL;DR
In this article series, we will discuss what microservices are and why they are useful. We will also build an example microservice application, that will actually work.
