Hands-On Microservices with Django

This is the code repository for the book Hands-On Microservices with Django, published by Packt.

What is this book about?

Are you a Django developer looking to leverage microservices to create optimized and scalable web applications? If yes, then this book is for you. With microservices, you can split an application into self-contained services, each with a specific scope running asynchronously while collectively executing processes. Written by an experienced Python developer, Hands-On Microservices with Django teaches you how to develop and deploy microservices using Django and accompanying components such as Celery and Redis.

This book covers the following features:

• Understand the architecture of microservices and how Django implements it
• Build microservices that leverage community-standard components such as Celery, RabbitMQ, and Redis
• Test microservices and deploy them with Docker
• Enhance the security of your microservices for production readiness
• Boost microservice performance through caching
• Implement best practices to design and deploy high-performing microservices

This microservices and Django book is for Django developers who want to take the next step in back-end application development by adopting cloud-native microservices. Backend developers with working knowledge of Flask or other Python programming web frameworks will also benefit from this book. Basic knowledge of developing web APIs will help you get started with quickly building microservices on your own.

Software and Operating System List

With the following software and operating system list, you can run all code files present in the book (Chapters 2-11):

Chapter	Software required	OS required
2-11	Python Django Redis RabbitMQ Celery* MongoDB Cloud version	Windows & Windows Subsystem for Linux (WSL)*, Mac OS, or Linux

* Celery only runs on Mac OS or Linux, so if you are on Windows, you will need WSL.
