TypeScript Microservices

Overview of this book

In the last few years or so, microservices have achieved the rock star status and right now are one of the most tangible solutions in enterprises to make quick, effective, and scalable applications. The apparent rise of Typescript and long evolution from ES5 to ES6 has seen lots of big companies move to ES6 stack. If you want to learn how to leverage the power of microservices to build robust architecture using reactive programming and Typescript in Node.js, then this book is for you. Typescript Microservices is an end-to-end guide that shows you the implementation of microservices from scratch; right from starting the project to hardening and securing your services. We will begin with a brief introduction to microservices before learning to break your monolith applications into microservices. From here, you will learn reactive programming patterns and how to build APIs for microservices. The next set of topics will take you through the microservice architecture with TypeScript and communication between services. Further, you will learn to test and deploy your TypeScript microservices using the latest tools and implement continuous integration. Finally, you will learn to secure and harden your microservice. By the end of the book, you will be able to build production-ready, scalable, and maintainable microservices using Node.js and Typescript.

How to choose service registry and discovery


Previously, we saw various service registry and discovery options based on service registry and discovery patterns. So, the next question that arises is pretty obvious, which solution to go for? That question is pretty wide and it actually depends on the requirements. Your requirements are most likely to be different than most other companies, so rather than going with the most common solutions, a better approach would be to evaluate your requirements and devise your own strategy based on that. To devise a strategy, the following questions should be properly evaluated:

  • Is the system going to be coded in only one language or is there a polyglot environment? Writing the same code in different languages is pretty cumbersome. In this case, Registrator is pretty helpful.
  • Is there a legacy system involved? Are both the systems going to run for some time? In this case, self registering solutions can be pretty helpful.
  • How simplified is service discovery...
