Build a microservices application from scratch, layer by layer. This book teaches the tools and techniques you need. Bootstrapping Microservices with Docker, Kubernetes, and Terraform has helped thousands of developers create their first microservices applications. This fully revised second edition introduces the industry-standard tools and practical skills you’ll use for every microservices application. Author Ashley Davis’s friendly advice and guidance helps you make pragmatic choices that will cut down the learning curve for Docker, Terraform, and Kubernetes. Learning Kubernetes was especially hard. From the outside, it seemed incredibly difficult to penetrate. But I had a job to do, and I needed a way to deliver software, so I pushed on. The going was tough, and I almost gave up on Kubernetes a few times. Terraform is the tool that allowed me to describe the infrastructure of my application. I began writing infrastructure as code, and it felt like I had moved to the big leagues. Taking a microservices application from proof of concept to production is a multi-step operation that relies on tools like Docker, Terraform, and Kubernetes. The best way to learn the whole process is to build a project from the ground up. That’s exactly what you’ll do in this book!
