Microservices and API Development with Node.js and Spring Boot Training Course

Rating

9/10

Duration

4 Days

Course Overview

This training course provides hands-on experience in designing and building microservices-based APIs using Node.js (Express.js) and Java Spring Boot. Participants will learn how to break monolithic applications into independent microservices, implement inter-service communication, and integrate APIs using REST and event-driven architectures. The course also covers authentication, containerization, deployment, and scaling microservices in a cloud environment.

Through real-world scenarios and practical exercises, attendees will gain expertise in microservices development, API management, and cloud-native application deployment.

Format of Training

  • Instructor-led interactive sessions
  • Hands-on coding exercises
  • Real-world microservices implementation case studies
  • Group discussions and troubleshooting techniques

Course Objectives

  1. Understand microservices architecture and how it differs from monolithic applications
  2. Build RESTful APIs using Node.js (Express) and Java Spring Boot
  3. Implement inter-service communication using REST, gRPC, and event-driven patterns
  4. Secure microservices with authentication and authorization (JWT, OAuth2)
  5. Use Docker to containerize microservices for scalability and portability
  6. Deploy Node.js and Spring Boot microservices using Kubernetes and cloud services
  7. Implement API gateways, service discovery, and load balancing

Prerequisites

  • Familiarity with JavaScript (Node.js) and Java (Spring Boot basics)
  • Basic understanding of RESTful API concepts and database interactions
  • No prior experience with microservices required
