The Microservices Bootcamp with AWS

About this course

What are Microservices?Microservices have become one of biggest waves in cloud computing innovation. But answering exactly what they are can be pretty challenging. Throughout this course, we'll explore how to answer that question and many more as we build a web app that runs on AWS. Instead of diving into the details of any specific microservices framework, tool or pattern, we'll look at an unbiased view of the general concepts that make a microservice architecture so great. Throughout this course, we'll touch upon some of the foundational details of the following concepts. We'll focus on how these concepts relate to each other and how we combine them to make a complete web application running on microservices hosted in AWS. This course will prepare you to further research and master any of these tools and concepts, all while knowing how they fit into an overall cloud architecture.In this course we'll learn the basics of the following tools and concepts:Learn Single Page Applications:We'll build a web app with a VueJS front end and discover all the benefits of a Single Page Application (SPA) framework in a web system. We'll use Vuex to store front end state to enable a stateless backend API. We'll also work with Bootstrap and add BootstrapVue components into our front end as we build a feature rich, responsive and modern UI.Learn Infrastructure as Code:We'll be working with many AWS resources and we'll be defining them in an AWS CloudFormation template. We'll also be working with the AWS Serverless Application Model (SAM) to define microservices as serverless resources.Learn CloudFront and S3:We'll be using AWS CloudFront and AWS Simple Storage Service (S3) to serve and host our front end static content. On top of S3, we'll learn how to set o
