Foundations of Microservices with Spring Boot

About this course

This course provides a solid foundation in designing and implementing microservices using Spring Boot. Microservices architecture enables scalable, maintainable, and modular applications, a key skill in modern software development. Learners will gain hands-on experience building a set of cooperating microservices, deploying them with Docker, and integrating persistence and reactive programming. This ensures practical skills that can be immediately applied in real-world projects. The course combines theory with practice by covering core concepts, Spring Boot features, API documentation with OpenAPI, and deployment strategies. This approach ensures learners understand both design principles and operational implementation. Ideal for software developers, engineers, and Java enthusiasts with basic programming knowledge. Familiarity with Java and object-oriented programming will help learners follow the exercises effectively. This course is part one of a three-course Specialization designed to provide a comprehensive learning pathway in this subject area. While it delivers standalone value and practical skills, learners seeking a more integrated and in-depth progression may benefit from completing the full Specialization.
