|
Microservice Patterns teaches enterprise developers and architects how to
|
||
|
|
build applications with the microservice architecture. Rather than simply
|
||
|
|
advocating for the use the microservice architecture, this clearly-written
|
||
|
|
guide takes a balanced, pragmatic approach. You'll discover that the
|
||
|
|
microservice architecture is not a silver bullet and has both benefits and
|
||
|
|
drawbacks. Along the way, you'll learn a pattern language that will enable you
|
||
|
|
to solve the issues that arise when using the microservice architecture. This
|
||
|
|
book also teaches you how to refactor a monolithic application to a
|
||
|
|
microservice architecture.</p>

★☆☆☆☆

|

|
|
<p>I have a rule: The "badness" of a book is directly proportional to the number
|
||
|
|
of "as follows" the author uses in it.</p>
|
||
|
|
<p>And, oh boy, do they use "as follows" in this book (no, seriously).</p>
|
||
|
|
<p>The first 1/4 of the book is pretty good, showing patterns and giving
|
||
|
|
explanations about it. The rest of the book is strongly focused on external
|
||
|
|
frameworks and libraries and has almost no patterns discussion at all -- for
|
||
|
|
example, the second 1/4 is, basically, focused on the author's framework -- a
|
||
|
|
Java framework. Also, the author seems strongly focused on Java code, even
|
||
|
|
after explaining that a microservice fleet can be written in lots of different
|
||
|
|
languages -- even listing some languages.</p>
|
||
|
|
<p>There is a strong preference for Java and Spring on the book, to the point
|
||
|
|
that, when discussing a point, it shows a Spring module with a huge
|
||
|
|
explanation on what it does and another saying, simply, "another Java
|
||
|
|
framework".</p>
|
||
|
|
<p>The code examples are also bad. It seems the author decided to use IntelliJ as
|
||
|
|
IDE and use its variable-name-generator (based on the class name) to create
|
||
|
|
the variable names. Classes names are really long on Java and, using the IDE,
|
||
|
|
the variables names <em>also</em> get really long, which by itself is not bad,
|
||
|
|
but in a book, it means the code will get formatted like any text and, thus,
|
||
|
|
get completely broken, and really hard to read.</p>
|
||
|
|
<p>There are <em>lots</em> of images. And, as usual with a lot of images, 90% of
|
||
|
|
them are completely irrelevant, adding absolutely nothing of whatever was
|
||
|
|
described already.</p>
|
||
|
|
<p>Those failures are extremely upsetting. You're getting a book about patterns
|
||
|
|
and end up with lots of pages of discussion and code -- badly formatted code
|
||
|
|
-- and very little pattern. Instead of explaining each pattern in depth, the
|
||
|
|
author decided to skip the whole thing and just show you how to use some
|
||
|
|
framework that already implements the pattern. That, by itself, isn't bad, but
|
||
|
|
without understanding what the pattern is, and what it is good for, you won't
|
||
|
|
know if it is a good idea to use it or not -- because patterns are ways to
|
||
|
|
describe your solution, not "ready made" solutions.</p>
|
||
|
|
<p>Honestly, I can't recommend this book for anyone that is starting their way
|
||
|
|
into microservices.</p>
