This specialization features Coursera Coach! A smarter way to learn with interactive, real-time conversations that help you test your knowledge, challenge assumptions, and deepen your understanding as you progress through the specialization.
Mastering microservices with Spring Boot and Spring Cloud teaches scalable application development through hands-on projects. You’ll learn microservices, RESTful web services, and cloud architectures, gaining essential tools for enterprise solutions.
The specialization starts with setting up Java and Eclipse IDE, followed by exploring RESTful web services. You'll then build microservices using Spring Boot, covering service discovery, load balancing, and API gateways, and finish by integrating advanced cloud features with Spring Cloud.
Who should take this specialization? It's designed for developers, engineers, and tech enthusiasts who want to build efficient microservices-based applications. A solid understanding of Java and basic web development concepts is recommended, though the course caters to both intermediate and advanced learners.
By the end of the specialization, you will be able to design and implement microservices using Spring Boot and Spring Cloud. You will also understand how to leverage Docker and Kubernetes for containerization and orchestration, integrate distributed tracing, and manage microservice communication effectively through various cloud-based tools.
Applied Learning Project
Throughout the specialization, learners will work on hands-on projects that simulate real-world challenges. These projects involve creating scalable microservices, implementing RESTful APIs, integrating databases, and using Spring Cloud tools for cloud-based features. Learners will also apply containerization techniques using Docker, orchestrate microservices with Kubernetes, and optimize the deployment process, ensuring their applications are production-ready. The projects will empower learners to solve authentic problems using cutting-edge technologies.
