PHP Microservices Transit from monolithic architectures to highly available scalable and fault-tolerant microservices

• Build your own applications based on event-driven microservices and set them up on a production server.
• Successfully transform any monolithic application into a microservice.
• Monitor the health of your application, prevent downtime, and reduce costs.

PHP developers who want to build scalable, highly available, and secure applications will find this book useful. No knowledge of microservices is assumed.

• Set up a development environment using the right strategies and tools
• Learn about application design and structure, and start implementing your application
• Transform a monolithic application into microservices
• Explore the best way to start implementing your application using testing
• Understand how to monitor your microservices, handle errors, and debug the application
• Deploy your finished application into a production environment and learn how to solve common problems
• Learn how to scale your application based on microservices once it is up and running

The world is moving away from bulky, unreliable, and high-maintenance PHP applications to small, easy-to-maintain, and highly available microservices, and there is a pressing need for PHP developers to understand the criticalities in building effective mircoservices. This book will be a reliable resource, and one that will help you to develop your skills and teach you techniques of building reliable microservices in PHP.

The book begins with an introduction to the world of microservices, and quickly shows you how to set up a development environment and build a basic platform using Docker. You will then get into the different design aspects to be considered while building microservices in your favorite framework, and you will explore topics such as testing, securing, and deploying microservices. You will also understand how to migrate a monolithic application to the microservice architecture while keeping scalability and best practices in mind. Furthermore, you will get your teeth into a few important DevOps techniques that will help you progress to more complex domains, such as native cloud development, and you will also see some interesting design patterns.

By the end of this book, you will be able to develop applications based on microservices in an organized and efficient way. You will also gain the knowledge required to transform any monolithic application into microservices.
