Microservices Architecture on AWS

Microservices are a popular new approach to building maintainable, scalable, cloud-based applications. AWS is the perfect platform for hosting Microservices. All major companies are now evolving from a monolithic to a microservices architecture in their websites and applications due to its many advantages.

As this course follows a practical approach, you will begin with learning where to use microservices and understand the things you should take into account when building your architecture. Advanced tasks - with concepts such as Serverless computing and DevOps using AWS - will also be undertaken to help you in your next venture with confidence. Then you will learn how to build Microservices-based applications on AWS, overcome the limitations and challenges you experience in traditional monolith deployments & much more.

By the end of the course, you would have set a solid foundation for you to start implementing Microserviceslearnt for daily tasks, test & monitor your application for improving the performance and deploy your Microservice to the cloud, be ready to migrate to a microservices architecture in your organization.
