eBook Description:
Hands-On Swift 5 Microservices Development: Learn to design and deploy fully functioning microservices for your applications from scratch using Swift, Docker, and AWS
The capabilities of the Swift programming language are extended to server-side development using popular frameworks such as Vapor. This enables Swift programmers to implement the microservices approach to design scalable and easy-to-maintain architecture for iOS, macOS, iPadOS, and watchOS applications.
This book is a complete guide to building microservices for iOS applications. You’ll start by examining Swift and Vapor as backend technologies and compare them to their alternatives. The book then covers the concept of microservices to help you get started with developing your first microservice. Throughout this book, you’ll work on a case study of writing an e-commerce backend as a microservice application. You’ll understand each microservice as it is broken down into details and written out as code throughout the book. You’ll also become familiar with various aspects of server-side development such as scalability, database options, and information flow for microservices that are unwrapped in the process. As you advance, you’ll get to grips with microservices testing and see how it is different from testing a monolith application. Along the way, you’ll explore tools such as Docker, Postman, and Amazon Web Services.
- Grasp server-side Swift development concepts using practical examples
- Understand the microservices approach and why Swift is a great choice for building microservices
- Design and structure mobile and web applications using microservices architecture
- Discover the available database options and understand which one to choose
- Scale and monitor your microservices
- Use Postman to automate testing for your microservices API
By the end of the Hands-On Swift 5 Microservices Development book, you’ll be able to build a ready-to-deploy application that can be used as a base for future applications.
