This free online course teaches the concept, building blocks and key advantages of microservices architecture. This online training introduces a new innovative software development style called ‘microservices architecture’. Microservices are replacing the traditional approach of designing, developing and maintaining a software code as one giant monolithic application. As applications are now moving to the cloud, a new approach is needed. Microservices are the building blocks for creating the next generation of cloud-native applications.
