Hands-on Microservices with Go and MongoDB

Highly scalable and performant microservices using Go and MongoDB

Key Features

You will learn how to build scalable, high performant and extensible interoperating services using Go and MongoDB
You will learn about a single responsibility for microservices, building Go interfaces for extensibility and testing, managing MongoDB documents, interoperating between microservices using gRPC, securing your microservices using JWT, and even how to automate your tests for your microservices
Using real-world examples, you will learn when to use microservices, how to choose among data storage strategies, different perspectives to handle real-world scale, and how to effectively communicate between microservices

What You Will Learn

Build scalable and extensible microservices using Go and MongoDB
Discover ideas about when to use microservices and how to design them to be scalable and more rigorous tested
Benefit from real-world examples that you can relate to so that you can choose the right tool and the right knowledge to do things right!
Learn when to use a single datastore across microservices and when to keep data exclusive to each microservice
Build microservices that can be easily tested using Go

About

How do you build a service-oriented architecture, using microservices system that should not only be scalable with high performance but also handle frequently changing features? This is a real-world problem and it’s important that you empower yourself with the knowledge, tools, and skills today, so that you can build these systems with confidence!

This course dissects the real-world problem into various aspects for understanding the data models, large-scale request processing, communication strategies, securing the system, and even testing. It will help you with all the knowledge needed to build scalable, extensible, and highly performant and future-proof systems that will make you proud of your work! We shall use a real-world example of managing a large number of events from wearable devices to showcase all the aspects of a performant system.

By the end of this course, you will have all the knowledge and tools to build a scalable and extensible service-oriented system.
