Are you a Django developer looking to leverage microservices to create optimized and scalable web applications? If yes, then this book is for you. With microservices, you can split an application into self-contained services, each with a specific scope running asynchronously while collectively executing processes. Written by an experienced Python developer, Hands-On Microservices with Django teaches you how to develop and deploy microservices using Django and accompanying components such as Celery and Redis. You'll start by learning the principles of microservices and message/task queues and how to design them effectively. Next, you’ll focus on building your first microservices with Django RESTful APIs (DFR) and RabbitMQ, mastering the fundamentals along the way. As you progress, you’ll get to grips with dockerizing your microservices. Later, you’ll discover how to optimize and secure them for production environments. By the end of this book, you’ll have the skills you need to design and develop production-ready Django microservices applications with DFR, Celery/RabbitMQ, Redis, and Django's cache framework.
