This book is for Java and Spring developers and architects who want to learn how to break up their existing monoliths into microservices and deploy them either on-premises or in the cloud using Kubernetes as a container orchestrator and Istio as a service Mesh. No familiarity with microservices architecture is required to get started with this book.
Magnus Larsson, an IT industry veteran since 1986, has consulted for major Swedish firms such as Volvo, Ericsson, and AstraZeneca. Despite past struggles with distributed systems, today's open source tools such as Spring Cloud, Kubernetes, and Istio offer effective solutions. For the past 10 years, Magnus has been helping customers use these tools and has shared his insights through presentations and blog posts.
