The course “Reactive Microservices” delves into the world of microservices and explores how to make them reactive. It covers the basics of monoliths and microservices and discusses the advantages and disadvantages of each approach. The course also focuses on the principles of isolation and how they apply to both monoliths and microservices. Furthermore, it provides insights into decomposing a monolith into microservices and the techniques used to achieve isolation, such as bulkheading, circuit breakers, and message-driven architecture. Autonomy and gateway services are also explored as important aspects of microservices. By the end of the course, students will have a clear understanding of microservices and how to design and implement them in a reactive manner.
