Course Description

Microservices Architecture is one of the fastest growing software in technology world. Big companies like Amazon, Netflix, Google etc use Microservices based architecture. This course is designed to help you achieve your goals in Microservices field. Software Engineers with Microservices knowledge may get more salary than others with similar qualifications without Microservices knowledge.

In this course, you will learn how to handle interview questions on Microservices technology in Software Design and Development. I will explain you the important concepts of Microservices architecture.

You will also learn the benefits and use cases of Microservices in this course. 

What is the biggest benefit of this course to me?

Finally, the biggest benefit of this course is that you will be able to demand higher salary in your next job interview.

It is good to learn Microservices for theoretical benefits. But if you do not know how to handle interview questions on Microservices, you can not convert your Microservices knowledge into higher salary.

What are the topics covered in this course?

We cover a wide range of topics in this course. We have questions on Microservices best practices, Security, Pact, Bulkhead Design Pattern etc.

How will this course help me?

By attending this course, you do not have to spend time searching the Internet for Microservices interview questions. We have already compiled the list of the most popular and the latest Microservices Interview questions. 

Are there answers in this course?

Yes, in this course each question is followed by an answer. So you can save time in interview preparation.

What is the best way of viewing this course?

You have to just watch the course from beginning to end. Once you go through all the videos, try to answer the questions in your own words. Also mark the questions that you could not answer by yourself. Then, in second pass go through only the difficult questions. After going through this course 2-3 times, you will be well prepared to face a technical interview in Microservices architecture.

What is the level of questions in this course?

This course contains questions that are good for a Fresher to an Architect level. The difficulty level of question varies in the course from a Fresher to an Experienced professional.

What happens if Microservices technology changes in future?

From time to time, we keep adding more questions to this course. Our aim is to keep you always updated with the latest interview questions on Microservices.

I have very little hands on experience on microservices so it is very difficult for me to face the interview on microsdervices. But i am sure i will be able to justify the questions now. I have worked on Spring MVC and hibernate but at this point i was facing difficulties. Thank you so much for providing insight.

By Sanjeev Tiwari on 4/29/2019

Expect more technical and hands-on driven questions - practical scenarios and what problems we envisage with the design - what all would be possible recommendations and why. The present set covers the fundamentals very well, it will bet better if we include some sections on leading implementation technology options - .NET, SpringBoot etc & tools like Hystrix, API Gateways, Graphite etc...Hope I am not over expecting but generally i believe the expectations from such question bank is to cover the entire gamut of REST/Microservices/API Gateways/Fault Tolerance/Integrations etc...

By John Mason on 8/4/2018

This is a good overview-style, interview-prep course. I appreciate the fact that he's explaining topics as he goes and providing real world examples (where possible).

By Chase Jensen on 5/9/2018

Good course but I cannot understand some of the very important words you say, I will rewind 20 times and just give up... truly not trying to be rude, when there are longer hard to say and important words please clarify. The Information in this course is great and organized. Thank you for covering a non well uniformly documented subject

By Robin Scallion on 5/1/2018

The content is awesome and valuable. The audio sounds like it was recorded in a tiled bathroom on an secondhand iphone 4 with a plastic bucket on his head.... That said, I'm still enjoying the course....

By Taha Hussain on 11/27/2017

Each example could be explained using system component architecture. E.g. Product Recommendation Service vs Product Buying Service could be shown with diagrams and modifying it to show failure etc. This helps the learner to remember the story and point being made. This is the art of teaching using stories that stick. Images stick in mind.

By Julie Cairn on 11/19/2017

I was not using this for an interview, but I wanted to get a high level sense of Microservices architecture, pros and cons, considerations, definitions, terminology, etc.. For the few hours it took, it got me what I was looking for as a starting point. I feel like I have a basis on which to build. Thanks.

By Shireen Ahmed on 10/7/2017

I think this was good for an entry level person being introduced to Microservices. Could be a bit more in-depth in certain areas and made the length maybe to 4 hours. Examples of going from a monolith to a microservices would have been helpful at the end to tie everything together.

By Dharani Mishra on 8/6/2017

I found the Sections 11 and 12 are useful and are more focused on micro services. The prior sections are too general and theoretical. I don't think companies will offer some one job based on that type of questions. I think this course could have been made more useful by adding more practical oriented questions by undertaking some practical use case scenarios.

By Madhu Reddy on 6/16/2017

I wish , he uses more diagrams/graphics to explain things clearly. Also using the right "words" is the key in explaining the technology. For example "hiding" vs "abstraction". I plan to to finish the whole course. Bottom line, this course is still helpful for someone like me to understand Micro Services.
