Microservice APIs in Python shares successful strategies and techniques for designing Microservices systems, with a particular emphasis on creating easy-to-consume APIs.
This practical guide focuses on implementation over philosophizing and has just enough theory to get you started. You'll quickly go hands on designing the architecture for a microservices platform, produce standard specifications for REST and GraphQL APIs, and bake in authentication features to keep your APIs secure. Written in a framework-agnostic manner, its universal principles of API and microservices design can easily be applied to your favorite stack and toolset.

About the Technology
Standard Python web applications, such as those you'd typically build with Django or Flask, can be hard to scale and maintain when built as monoliths. Microservices design makes it possible to isolate key features and functionality as independently written and maintained services. To take advantage of this more resilient architecture, you need to learn the patterns, frameworks, and tools that make Python-based microservices easy to build and manage.

"A thorough introduction to the concept of developing microservice APIs with Python." Rodney Weis

"The Author has done an excellent job in explaining key concepts." Manish Jain

"There are many pitfalls with microservices, and this book will provide you with all the knowledge you need to be properly prepared to create your first one!" Pierre-Michel Ansel

"Before you start coding for your microservice please read this book once, irrespective of your programming language." Debmalya Jash

"A roundhouse kick for all aspects regarding APIs and python." Bjoern Neuhaus

"A very thorough discussion of the considerations that are involved in developing microservice APIs with Python." Rodney Weis

"I really like both the breadth and depth of the content. It is exciting to see an entire book which focuses upon Python as a back-end component-for which I see a natural fit." Bryan Miller

"A great book for Python developers to understand how to implement APIs using web frameworks." Sambasiva Andaluri

"I genuinely feel smarter for having read this book and knowing that I can refer to it when I make my next design." Stuart Woodward
