This is the code repository for Hands-On Docker for Microservices with Python , published by Packt.
Design, deploy, and operate a complex system with multiple microservices using Docker and Kubernetes
Microservices architecture helps create complex systems with multiple, interconnected services that can be maintained by independent teams working in parallel. This book guides you on how to develop these complex systems with the help of containers.
This book covers the following exciting features:
- Discover how to design, test, and operate scalable microservices
- Coordinate and deploy different services using Kubernetes
- Use Docker to construct scalable and manageable applications with microservices
- Understand how to monitor a complete system to ensure early detection of problems
- Become well versed with migrating from an existing monolithic system to a microservice one Use load balancing to ensure seamless operation between the old monolith and the new service

All of the code is organized into folders. For example, Chapter02.
The code will look like the following:
class ThoughtModel(db.Model):
id = db.Column(db.Integer, primary_key=True)
username = db.Column(db.String(50))
text = db.Column(db.String(250))
timestamp = db.Column(db.DateTime, server_default=func.now())
Following is what you need for this book: This book is aimed at developers or software architects who work with complex systems and want to be able to scale the development of their systems.
It is also aimed at developers who typically deal with a monolith that has grown to a point where adding new features is difficult and development is difficult to scale. The book outlines the migration of a traditional monolithic system to a microservice architecture, providing a roadmap covering all the different stages.
With the following software and hardware list you can run all code files present in the book (Chapter 1-).
| Chapter | Software required | OS required |
|---|---|---|
| 1-10 | Python 3.8 | Windows/Linux/macOS |

Jaime Buelta has been a professional programmer since 2002 and a full-time Python developer since 2010. He has developed software for a variety of fields, focusing, in the last 10 years, on developing web services in Python in the gaming and finance industries. He has seen first hand the revolution of containerization for backend services over the years and has seen how they can improve the development process. He published his first book, Python Automation Cookbook, in 2018. He is a strong proponent of automating everything to make computers do most of the heavy lifting so that users can focus on the important stuff. He is currently living in Dublin, Ireland, and is a regular speaker at PyCon Ireland.
