Hands-On Microservices - Monitoring and Testing

Learn and implement various techniques related to testing monitoring and optimization for microservices architecture.Key FeaturesLearn different approaches for testing microservices to design and implement robust and secure applicationsBecome more efficient while working with microservicesExplore Testing and Monitoring tools such as JMeter Ready APIand AppDynamicsBook DescriptionMicroservices are the latest "right" way of developing web applications. Microservices architecture has been gaining momentum over the past few years but once you've started down the microservices path you need to test and optimize the services. This book focuses on exploring various testing monitoring and optimization techniques for microservices.The book starts with the evolution of software architecture style from monolithic to virtualized to microservices architecture. Then you will explore methods to deploy microservices and various implementation patterns. With the help of a real-world example you will understand how external APIs help product developers to focus on core competencies. After that you will learn testing techniques such as Unit Testing Integration Testing Functional Testing and Load Testing. Next you will explore performance testing tools such as JMeter and Gatling. Then we deep dive into monitoring techniques and learn performance benchmarking of the various architectural components. For this you will explore monitoring tools such as Appdynamics Dynatrace AWS CloudWatch and Nagios. Finally you will learn to identify address and report various performance issues related to microservices.What you will learnUnderstand the architecture of microservices and how to build servicesEstablish how external APIs help to accelerate the development processUnderstand testing techniques such as unit testing integration testing end-to-end testing and UI/functional testingExplore various tools related to the performance testing monitoring and optimization of microservicesDesign strategies for performance testing Identify performance issues and fine-tune performanceWho this book is forThis book is for developers who are involved with microservices architecture to develop robust and secure applications. Basic knowledge of microservices is essential in order to get the most out of this book. About the Author Dinesh Rajput is a founder of Dineshonjava (dot) com a blog for Spring and Java techies.
