Design, build, and run Microservices using Scala elegantly
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 classic series. Essential phonics plus your imagination. Get primed for school success. There’s a reason Jolly Phonics is a favourite. No other phonics series has such a focus on play while helping you read and write. Don’t forget – these key skills are at the heart of the school curriculum. So how do you master them? Just imagine: tracing snakes to make the letter ‘S’. Or pretending to be a plane that goes ‘nnnnnn’. Explore letters and sounds, write your name and build pencil control by tracing and colouring. Jolly phonics: happy learning.
