Summary

In this chapter, we have compared monolithic and microservices architectures. I hope you see the advantages of using the latter. We have also learned how Docker and Kubernetes fits into the whole picture when deploying containerized applications, making this process a lot more easy and pleasant. Java is a proven ecosystem for implementing microservices. The software you are going to create will consist of small, highly testable, and efficient modules. In fact, in Chapter 4, Creating Java Microservices, we are going to get our hands dirty and create such a microservice.
