Design, build, and run Microservices using Scala elegantly It is assumed that the reader knows Scala or is proficient in a competent programming language such as Java, C#, Ruby, and so on, with some exposure to Scala. Some experience with writing web services would also be ideal but not mandatory. In this book we will learn what it takes to build great applications using Microservices, the pitfalls associated with such a design and the techniques to avoid them. We learn to build highly performant applications using Play Framework. You will understand the importance of writing code that is asynchronous and nonblocking and how Play leverages this paradigm for higher throughput. The book introduces Reactive Manifesto and uses Lagom Framework to implement the suggested paradigms. Lagom teaches us to: build applications that are scalable and resilient to failures, and solves problems faced with microservices like service gateway, service discovery, communication and so on. Message Passing is used as a means to achieve resilience and CQRS with Event Sourcing helps us in modelling data for highly interactive applications. The book also shares effective development processes for large teams by using good version control workflow, continuous integration and deployment strategies. We introduce Docker containers and Kubernetes orchestrator. Finally, we look at end to end deployment of a set of scala microservices in kubernetes with load balancing, service discovery and rolling deployments. The book will step through each of the core microservice concepts in Scala, building an overall picture of their capabilities. This book adopts a systematic approach, allowing you to build upon what you've learnt in previous chapters. By the end of this book you'll have an understanding of the complex aspects of building microservices in Scala and will be able to take that knowledge with you into further projects.ng of the complex aspects of building Microservices in Scala and will be able to take that knowledge with you onto whatever project calls for it
