Developing Microservices with Node.js Paperback – 26 April 2016

This book takes two very interesting and complex subjects and explains them in a very easily understanding way.As much this book is learning material, it is also great how to guide. It takes most common issues with microservices and NodeJS applications and gives great solutions to them also. Solutions which improve developer experience a lot. And something that is rarely covered in most of materials on microservices.This all makes this book very unique and maybe even the best one on the topic I found so far.

Took me about 4 hours to read... I expected more. Code examples don't work, concepts are pretty basic... Feel like most of the chapters are pretty generic (testing, deployment etc) and could be applied to any node app and not just a microservice design pattern. As for the microservice architecture chapters, its basically how to build a hello world node app in the seneca framework - google can tell you that. Not worth the buy.

A very good introduction to the micro services with node.js. Book touches the good breadth of different topics which need to be considered when developing your application with micro services model.Examples are simple and easy to follow. And the topics covered like monitoring, logging, container management, continuous deployment touches a good breadth of the ecosystem.

This was the best resource I found to build microservices with Node.js. I struggled a lot with Seneca.js from the documentation on the webiste. Learning the principals behind microservices while following along with the Seneca examples made it possible for me understand both. The examples and code files are pretty easy to follow along. There's a chapter on deployment which is pretty critical to getting your microservices off the ground. I would recommend this book for intermediate and advanced Node.js developers. Overall, you can get going pretty quick with this book.

I've been waiting for this book to land for the last few months, as was at one of David's talks recently.I have been working in some Java based microservices recently and have been keen to find out more about using Node.js for prototyping initial microservices and this book has helped to bridge that gap for me.The structure of the chapters and the worked examples are all excellent, all the examples have worked immediately for me.There's nice coverage in the book of the general infrastructure and plumbing that goes into a working, scalable and reliable interconnected set of microservices.
