This specialization guides learners through building and deploying microservices using Spring Boot, Spring Cloud, and Kubernetes. The first course introduces core microservices concepts, Spring Boot fundamentals, cooperating service design, Docker deployment, API documentation with OpenAPI, persistence, and reactive microservices development.
The second course advances skills with Spring Cloud, covering service discovery using Netflix Eureka, API security, edge server routing with Spring Cloud Gateway, centralized configuration, resilience enhancements with Resilience4j, and distributed tracing to monitor service health.
The third course emphasizes cloud-native deployment and observability using Kubernetes. Learners deploy microservices, implement system simplifications, leverage a service mesh, configure centralized logging with the EFK stack, monitor services, and manage native compiled Java microservices across platforms. This structured progression ensures practical skills and applied outcomes across design, security, and operations.
This fully updated fourth edition takes you through tried-and-tested approaches to build distributed systems and implementing microservices architecture, following a single real-world project from start to finish.
This Specialization is based on the book Microservices with Spring Boot and Spring Cloud , by Magnus Larsson

Courses
-
This course teaches strategies to design microservices that are resilient, secure, and maintainable using Spring Cloud. Mastering these skills is critical for building reliable distributed systems in enterprise environments. Learners will implement service discovery with Netflix Eureka, secure APIs, configure centralized settings, and improve fault tolerance with Resilience4j. These practical exercises provide immediate, real-world applicability. The course blends theory with hands-on implementation, covering distributed tracing, edge servers with Spring Cloud Gateway, and best practices for microservice security. This ensures learners can apply concepts confidently in professional projects. Ideal for software developers and engineers familiar with Java and microservices who want to enhance system resilience, security, and observability. Basic knowledge of Spring Boot is recommended. This course is part two of a three-course Specialization designed to provide a comprehensive learning pathway in this subject area. While it delivers standalone value and practical skills, learners seeking a more integrated and in-depth progression may benefit from completing the full Specialization.

This course teaches how to deploy and monitor microservices in cloud-native environments using Kubernetes. Mastering these skills is critical for building scalable, observable, and maintainable distributed systems. Learners will deploy microservices to Kubernetes, use service meshes for observability, implement centralized logging with the EFK stack, and monitor system performance. These exercises give hands-on experience in real-world deployments. The course combines theoretical concepts with practical applications, covering Kubernetes features, native compiled Java microservices, and cross-platform installation instructions. This ensures learners can confidently manage complex systems. Ideal for software engineers, DevOps practitioners, and Java developers familiar with microservices. Basic knowledge of Java and containerization concepts will help learners follow the exercises effectively. This course is part three of a three-course Specialization designed to provide a comprehensive learning pathway in this subject area. While it delivers standalone value and practical skills, learners seeking a more integrated and in-depth progression may benefit from completing the full Specialization.
-
This course provides a solid foundation in designing and implementing microservices using Spring Boot. Microservices architecture enables scalable, maintainable, and modular applications, a key skill in modern software development. Learners will gain hands-on experience building a set of cooperating microservices, deploying them with Docker, and integrating persistence and reactive programming. This ensures practical skills that can be immediately applied in real-world projects. The course combines theory with practice by covering core concepts, Spring Boot features, API documentation with OpenAPI, and deployment strategies. This approach ensures learners understand both design principles and operational implementation. Ideal for software developers, engineers, and Java enthusiasts with basic programming knowledge. Familiarity with Java and object-oriented programming will help learners follow the exercises effectively. This course is part one of a three-course Specialization designed to provide a comprehensive learning pathway in this subject area. While it delivers standalone value and practical skills, learners seeking a more integrated and in-depth progression may benefit from completing the full Specialization.
