Spring Boot & Microservices Master Course
Spring Boot is the de-facto standard for building Java-based backend applications. Combined with Spring Cloud, it provides a powerful toolkit for building resilient, scalable, and cloud-native microservices.This course takes you from “Hello World” to deploying a complex mesh of microservices, covering all the patterns expected in senior technical interviews and modern production systems.
Why this Course?
Industry Standard
Used by 70% of Fortune 500 companies for their backend infrastructure.
Microservices First
Focuses heavily on distributed systems patterns, not just basic APIs.
Production Ready
Learn observability, resilience, and security patterns essential for real-world ops.
Cloud Native
Designed for deployment on Docker and Kubernetes from Day 1.
