Today I finished reading and working through the awesome book Bootstrapping Microservices, by Ashley Davis.

What I accomplished:

  1. I build the complete FlixTube application along the way. This helped me solidify my hands-on experience with a rich list of technologies:
    1. JavaScript
    2. Node.js
    3. Express
    4. Docker
    5. Docker Compose
    6. Kubernetes: kubectl and Kubernetes Dashboard
    7. Azure cloud: File storage, container registry, kubernetes services
    8. Terraform
    9. GitHub Actions workflows for Continuous Deployment
    10. MongoDB
    11. RabbitMQ
    12. Microservices
    13. Cloud Native
  2. I contributed to the development of the book by submitting a number of suggestions to improve the text directly to the author. This is because I was reading the book as it was written, with early access to the chapters.
  3. I also contributed to the development of a future course still under development that will accompany the book by reviewing the first test run and providing the author with my suggestions for improvement.
