What actually breaks when a Java backend grows from hundreds of users to hundreds of thousands — and the concrete patterns, code, and trade-offs that keep it standing.
How to actually build microservices on the JVM — the frameworks that matter, the patterns you'll reach for, and concrete code for a small order-processing system built with Spring Boot.
A practical introduction to microservices architecture — what it is, why teams adopt it, the core building blocks, and the trade-offs you inherit the moment you move away from a monolith.
The parts of Spring Boot you'll use on every project, the parts you'll almost never touch, and the mental model that separates the two.
The essential ideas behind distributed systems, explained without the PhD jargon. What breaks when you cross a process boundary, and the patterns that exist to handle it.
