Node.js Microservices: Communication Patterns
This course will teach you to master communication patterns in Node.js, enabling you to design, assess, and implement efficient, scalable microservices architectures.
What you'll learn
Transitioning from monolithic systems to microservices architecture presents unique challenges and opportunities for efficiency and scalability. In this course, Node.js Microservices: Communication Patterns, you’ll learn to adeptly navigate this transition using Node.js. First, you’ll explore foundational communication patterns, understanding their role in a distributed environment. Next, you’ll discover advanced asynchronous techniques, including webhooks and event-driven architecture, essential for real-time data processing and scalability. Finally, you’ll learn how to implement effective service discovery and load balancing, key for maintaining high availability and performance in your microservices. When you’re finished with this course, you’ll have the skills and knowledge of Node.js microservices needed to architect and implement robust, scalable, and efficient microservices solutions.
