This specialization features Coursera Coach! A smarter way to learn with interactive, real-time conversations that help you test your knowledge, challenge assumptions, and deepen your understanding as you progress through the specialization. Mastering microservices with Spring Boot and Spring Cloud teaches scalable application development through hands-on projects. You’ll learn microservices, RESTful web services, and cloud architectures, gaining essential tools for enterprise solutions. The specialization starts with setting up Java and Eclipse IDE, followed by exploring RESTful web services. You'll then build microservices using Spring Boot, covering service discovery, load balancing, and API gateways, and finish by integrating advanced cloud features with Spring Cloud. Who should take this specialization? It's designed for developers, engineers, and tech enthusiasts who want to build efficient microservices-based applications. A solid understanding of Java and basic web development concepts is recommended, though the course caters to both intermediate and advanced learners. By the end of the specialization, you will be able to design and implement microservices using Spring Boot and Spring Cloud. You will also understand how to leverage Docker and Kubernetes for containerization and orchestration, integrate distributed tracing, and manage microservice communication effectively through various cloud-based tools.

This course features Coursera Coach! A smarter way to learn with interactive, real-time conversations that help you test your knowledge, challenge assumptions, and deepen your understanding as you progress through the course. This course empowers learners to master modern microservices architecture using Spring Cloud, Docker, and Kubernetes. You’ll gain a deep understanding of how to build scalable, resilient microservices while managing configuration, service discovery, routing, and observability across distributed systems. The journey begins with building foundational microservices like Currency Exchange and Currency Conversion using Spring Cloud. You’ll explore essential components such as Spring Cloud Config Server, Eureka Naming Server, and API Gateway. With hands-on examples, you'll implement load balancing, fault tolerance with Resilience4j, and centralized configuration using Git integration. Next, the course dives into containerization using Docker. You'll learn to build optimized Docker images, manage multi-container deployments with Docker Compose, and implement distributed tracing with Zipkin and OpenTelemetry. Finally, you’ll deploy your microservices in a Kubernetes environment on Google Cloud Platform (GCP), mastering YAML configurations, autoscaling, service discovery, and observability with GKE. This course is ideal for experienced Java developers, cloud engineers, or DevOps professionals looking to upskill in microservices architecture and cloud-native deployments. Familiarity with Spring Boot and basic cloud concepts is recommended. The course is rated at an Intermediate level due to its technical depth and deployment complexity. By the end of the course, you will be able to design, build, containerize, and deploy enterprise-grade microservices using Spring Cloud, Docker, and Kubernetes, with full observability and resilience.

This course features Coursera Coach! A smarter way to learn with interactive, real-time conversations that help you test your knowledge, challenge assumptions, and deepen your understanding as you progress through the course. Build the skills to design, develop, and secure scalable microservices using Spring Boot and Spring Cloud. This course equips learners with a practical understanding of RESTful web services, API architecture, and the essential tools required to create robust backend solutions in Java. Whether you're new to microservices or seeking a structured foundation, this course provides the hands-on knowledge to get you started confidently. You’ll begin with an introduction to microservices architecture and how Spring Boot simplifies development. Then, you'll explore foundational concepts like installing the Java development environment, understanding SOAP vs REST, and learning how to build and expose RESTful APIs. From there, you’ll incrementally develop a complete REST API with advanced features including versioning, filtering, error handling, Swagger documentation, and authentication using Spring Security. The final sections dive deeper into microservices concepts, connecting your services with relational databases using JPA, Hibernate, and MySQL, and implementing scalable microservice patterns. You’ll also explore tools like Docker, HAL Explorer, and Actuator for deployment, monitoring, and exploration. This course is designed for developers with basic Java knowledge who want to learn backend API development and microservices design. It is ideal for aspiring full-stack developers, backend engineers, and system architects. A working knowledge of object-oriented programming is recommended. This is an intermediate-level course. By the end of the course, you will be able to build REST APIs with Spring Boot, integrate them with databases, implement microservice architecture with Spring Cloud, and deploy scalable, secure applications with confidence.
