|
|
Microservices in Action is a practical book about building and deploying
|
||
|
|
microservice-based applications. Written for developers and architects with a
|
||
|
|
solid grasp of service-oriented development, it tackles the challenge of
|
||
|
|
putting microservices into production. You'll begin with an in-depth overview
|
||
|
|
of microservice design principles, building on your knowledge of traditional
|
||
|
|
systems. Then, you'll start creating a reliable road to production. You'll
|
||
|
|
explore examples using Kubernetes, Docker, and Google Container Engine as you
|
||
|
|
learn to build clusters and maintain them after deployment. Throughout this
|
||
|
|
rich, experience-driven book, you'll move through real-world use cases
|
||
|
|
including a continuous delivery pipeline, production monitoring, and practical
|
||
|
|
techniques for scaling and maintaining a healthy system.</p>

|
<p>For an "In Action" title, there is very little "Action" going on. Not that the
|
||
|
|
book lacks information: There is plenty of theoretical information, although a
|
||
|
|
lot is hidden in "cohesive" adjectives: "If you do this, the service will not
|
||
|
|
be cohesive", "doing so will make it more cohesive"... and what the author
|
||
|
|
means by "cohesive" is never explained -- I'd ask the author to replace every
|
||
|
|
reference to cohesive with a proper explanation.</p>
|
||
|
|
<p>Also, there are a lot of images. Not that images by themselves is bad, but when
|
||
|
|
they are used for the obvious, it really irks me -- specially 'cause I read
|
||
|
|
those books on a "black background with white letters" and images do not fit
|
||
|
|
that properly, using a white background that usually just hurts my eyes. And by
|
||
|
|
"used for the obvious", there are images follow the description of "A and B
|
||
|
|
communicate with C" and a large image showing <code>A --> C <-- B</code>; was that really
|
||
|
|
necessary?</p>
|
||
|
|
<p>The intro says the code is in Python, and that was something that I'd really
|
||
|
|
like to see. There is very little code in this book and the parts shown are
|
||
|
|
basically "look at this library" instead of focusing on what it really does; a
|
||
|
|
library for retrying is nice and all, but would it be so hard to write the
|
||
|
|
code, even if that code would be somewhat longer, to show the point you're
|
||
|
|
trying to make instead of being just an example of a library?</p>
|
||
|
|
<p>Speaking of code, there is also a long discussion about deploying
|
||
|
|
microservices, which is a good thing, but the author decided that it would use
|
||
|
|
Google Cloud Platform and every single explanation focuses more on how to
|
||
|
|
deploy on GCP instead of actually discussing deployment. </p>
