Event-Based Architecture? Covered! Server side rendering with React? Yep. Scalable, production-ready code? Its here!
Microservices are the number one solution for building and scaling out apps that are intended to grow. Just one little issue: there are few resources online that delve into the most complex and nasty issues around them! I built this course to fix that. This course tackles every major issues around microservices head on. From challenges with data replication to confusing unordered event streams, every major challenge of building microservices is covered.
Beyond focusing on the basics of microservices, this course is a perfect introduction to the world of full-stack development. You will work all the way from the frontend, assembling a React app using Hooks, to the backend, including database design and deployment strategies. Every step along the way is covered in tremendous detail, with ample diagrams to ensure every step is crystal clear.
Many other resources show only the easiest, simplest apps written with microservices. This course does the opposite: we focus on the most challenging aspects of microservices, challenges that you will likely encounter every single day. You will see these difficulties first hand, then solve them with easy-to-understand strategies.

How This Course Works
This course doesn’t focus on using an off-the-shelf microservices framework. Many exist, but they hide the inner workings and challenges of microservices away from you. Instead, we will be using a minimal number of libraries, and write as much custom code as possible. This will expose you to challenging problems and clever solutions when handling subjects like async events!
What Technology You’ll Use
Because we are building a full stack application, we will use a variety of technologies. On the frontend, we’ll use React and Next JS to present content to users. Each service is created using Node and Express. Data for each service is held in either a Mongo database or Redis. The entire app is deployed and runs in Docker containers executed in a Kubernetes cluster. Finally, almost all of the code in this course is written with Typescript.
This is a scary list of technologies! Not familiar with some of these? No problem! The course is built assuming that you only know the basics of Javascript and Express. No other knowledge is needed – you will learn everything you need to know.
What You’ll Be Able to Do
By the time you complete this course, you will be able to:
-
Architect a multi-service application
-
Determine whether your app is a good fit for a microservices approach
-
Understand and solve the challenges in async, event-based communication between services
-
Use Docker and Kubernetes to deploy a multi-service app to any cloud provider
-
Organize and enhance the reusability of code in large projects
What You’ll Learn
An absolute incredible number of topics are covered in this course. Here is a partial list of what you’ll do:
-
Practice patterns to create scalable microservices for a variety of app domains
-
Build a Server-Side-Rendered React app using Hooks and Next JS
-
Write a custom implementation of an event bus
-
Optionally, run a development environment through a cloud provider
-
Guarantee consistently structured responses from your different API’s
-
See best practices in communication between different services
-
Configure and scale your services using Kubernetes Deployments
-
Document and enforce structure constraints on events shared across microservices
-
Limit access to your APIs using JWT-based authentication
-
And much more!

Hi Stephen, I would like to thank you for such a detailed course on Microservices. I have never seen any instructor who has paid a lot of attention to not only to the details of the course but also trying to put into the shoes of a learner and making the course as easy to learn as possible! You have really simplified such a complicated topic and I like your style of teaching by creating small and concise videos over each topic. It has been a really amazing experience and this motivates me to look forward to checkout the other courses that are being offered by you. Thank you once again and keep making such amazing topics! Cheers 🙂

Learnt some solid engineering and design practices. Would highly recommend this course to anyone who wants to learn how to build scalable products.
Christian Garza –
Stephen is an amazing teacher and has a gift of explaining any complex topic simply and this microservices course is no exception. The course is a bit long, but honestly I wanted it a bit longer with the amount of topics that still could have been covered. Stephen does a great job of hammering the core concepts of microservices and I look forward to his future courses!
Richard Hoofring –
I have taken many courses and Stephen does a great job. He explains concepts in detail and talks about different options. Learned a great deal.
Sébastien Corbisier –
Again a great course from Stephen. There is a lot to learn in there and sometimes it is confusing (specially with the flow) but that’s totally worth it.
High quality code and ready for production. Some basics of cloud environments are includes.
Thank you for this great job!
Dan –
yes, thanks for the detailed explanations. i like the continuous reinforcement of certain important concepts.
Ivan Yañez –
Muy bien explicado y mucho contenido a aparte de enseñar como se hace la publicación en diferentes servicios, cursos integrados de docker y typescript.
Michael Delaney –
Overall a very worthwhile course. It definitely tackles oddities of micro-services communications head on. I really learned a lot, and gained some inspiration for new projects to do. Only complaint I had about the course was the react app, it was pretty weak / didn’t work very well 🙂
Maks Yaremenko –
Nice course as usual, the only one thing wasnt covered – data persistance configuration for DB. Thank you
Thomas Flitterman –
This course goes beyond microservices, Stephen Grider also shares with us his knowledge (to some extent) on TypeScript, design patterns, testing and Docker.
I really recommend this course to whoever wants to learn about micro-services, or just get familiar with some coding practices.
However, when writing Kubernetes config files, I sometimes had the impression of copying his code without understanding what I was doing. Kubernetes being an important part of the micro-services world, perhaps it would have been useful to spend more time on understanding how Kubernetes works.
Jon Clapham –
Really great course, covers a lot of ground. Unlike a lot of the tutors on here, Stephen really takes the time to explain the architecture and rationale behind design approaches as he goes before jumping into the code. Few minor issues, not surprising given the leading edge stack evolving, but plenty of answers in the Q&A
Bryan Brkic –
Unreal course, learned tons of useful skills. Some things have had updates since the creation of the course, but had no problem following along despite that. What makes Stephen’s courses really exceptional though is that even if some things become outdated which there’s no getting around, you get a really good fundamental understanding of how things work, so you know how to think about architecting a microservices app, so even if the tools you use change, you can intuitively think about how to create these apps even if the tools you use end up being different. This is why I always recommend Stephen’s courses to everyone!
