Course Description

Ready to move beyond monoliths and build cloud-native applications the way leading tech companies do? This hands-on course teaches you how to design, develop, and deploy scalable, resilient microservices using industry-standard patterns, tools, and best practices. You’ll work with Spring Boot, Docker, Kubernetes, API gateways, event-driven architecture, and distributed data strategies all while solving real-world challenges like service discovery, fault tolerance, and observability.

Why Learn Microservices?
From Netflix to Uber, top engineering teams use microservices to ship faster, scale independently, and isolate failures. Mastering microservices isn’t just about architecture it’s about building systems that survive traffic spikes, partial outages, and rapid iteration.

What You’ll Learn:

Decompose monoliths into well-defined, loosely coupled services
Build RESTful and event-driven microservices with Spring Boot
Containerize applications using Docker and manage them with Docker Compose
Orchestrate deployments with Kubernetes (pods, services, ingress, config maps)
Implement service discovery (Eureka), API gateway (Spring Cloud Gateway), and centralized configuration
Ensure resilience with circuit breakers (Resilience4j), retries, and timeouts
Manage distributed data using database per service, event sourcing, and CQRS
Gain visibility through distributed logging, metrics, and tracing (using OpenTelemetry)
Test, monitor, and debug microservices in local and cloud environments

"If your interface can’t be navigated by a farmer on a second-hand smartphone during a power outage, it’s not inclusive. If your system can’t scale during election-day traffic spikes, it’s not ready. We build for Africa first, last, and always." — Uncle Jay
