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.

Case Study – The NetFlix Stack


In this case study we are going to embrace the Netflix stack and adopt it in our microservices. Since the beginning in time we heard : polyglot development environment. We are going to do the same here. In this section we will set up API Gateway using ZUUL, add auto discovery using Java and Typescript. The user will not know which request actually hit, as he is only going to access the Gateway. The first part of the case study deals with Introducing Zuul, Eureka and registering some services in it and how communication occurs via central Gateway. The next part will deal with more significant things such as how to deal with load balancing, security, etc. So let's get started. You can follow along with the example in Chapter 7/netflix cloud folder. We don't reinvent the wheel until and unless it is very much necessary. Lets leverage things the most we can. The following case study supports and encourages polyglot architecture. So let's get moving.

Part A – Zuul...
