About the Course

Welcome to this introductory course on microservices and serverless, essential technologies for cloud native and application modernization workloads. Rather than building large applications, known as monoliths, that perform all the functionality, microservices break down larger applications into smaller pieces that are independently maintainable and scalable, providing a host of benefits. This architecture is now used in the largest software organizations in the world, because it provides cost benefits, team autonomy, and other advantages. Likewise, serverless has emerged as an increasingly popular compute option in the cloud era. Giving developers and operators the ability to run applications without managing underlying infrastructure. In this course, you will create microservices using various methodologies. You will create REST APIs using Python and Flask. Next, you will learn the basics of Serverless applications, and how to run your applications on the IBM Cloud Code Engine. The course contains several hands-on labs which allow you to practice and apply the content you learn in the course. In the final project, you will create a front-end application composed of several microservices and deploy them on the Cloud using serverless....

Excellent. Kindly make sure that the Code Engine CLI sometimes spent much time to starts and as per tests, this would be due to some issue with lab/count and nothing related about personal computers.

I finished this course in less than 2 weeks. The course was easy to follow and can give you a quick start on IBM cloud and Serverless Applications. Highly recommend this course.

I have been programming for over 35 years and this was unquestionably the worst technical course I have ever taken. There were numerous issues that following the instructions didn't resolve, even after retaking the steps multiple times. There was a typo on a command where cutting and pasting the command did not work, I had to search online and fine the correct syntax for the command. This course took me significantly longer than the estimates because I had to retrace my steps and make changes that were not in the instructions in order to get it to work. Luckily I am quite good at problem solving and was able to work around these issues, but that shouldn't be necessary. Congratulations on the NASA level QA on this course. Obviously someone looked at it from the space shuttle and said "looks good from here".

Lots of technical issues which made it very hard to practice. The material is confusing. I am not sure I have learned what I was supposed to learn from this course

I cannot complete this course because the code engine cli won't start and continually either shows preparing or error.

It is a bit challenging, but labs and project in a very good way are introducing the Cloud Computing technologies. I liked the classes very much.

This is a great course. The lab is very helpful to get some clear understanding of the key concepts of cloud native development.

The 2 weeks of this course covered some good information on how to approach Microservices and Serverless methodologies. However, the last 2 weeks was mostly a repeat of Developing Cloud Native Applications and Introduction to Containers with Docker, Kubernetes, and OpenShift, where a couple of the slides are basically repeats from those courses. The labs were helpful in getting to know the IBM Cloud and RedHat OpenShift environments better.

I highly recommend this course for developers and engineers who are seeking cloud skills on microservices, because this course gives very clear and comprehensive learning experience with very clear instructions for hands-on lab. The most facinating thing is all the labs about IBM Cloud and Redhat openshift cloud can be completed using their own lab environments without making accounts on them by spending money to complete the labs, which is great. Overall, great job, team. Thank you!!

The course is excellent for everyone who wants to deploy, manage, and build applications particularly microservices with Serverless. I found optional module 6 extremely helpful because I gained hands-on experience working with OpenShift. It gives me foundational knowledge and I got curious about how it works and what else I can do with it. Therefore, I think it would be great to include it in the program material required to complete the course.
