New book: Transitioning from Monolith to Microservices Handbook

An 80-page, open-source ebook on effective microservice design is available for free download, aimed at addressing the challenges that arise as companies grow and their monolithic architectures struggle to meet increasing demands. The book guides readers from the basics of understanding what a microservice is, through evaluating its pros and cons, to exploring design patterns and necessary cultural shifts for organizations transitioning to microservices. It also delves into advanced topics such as preparing monoliths for migration and testing new microservices. Co-authored by Lee Atchison, a Cloud Architect and Strategist, and Tomas Fernandez, known for CI/CD tutorials on the Semaphore blog, the book is designed for software engineers, CTOs, and tech leaders, regardless of their prior knowledge of microservices, to help them start their journey towards this architectural approach.
