Microservices in Production
When engineering organizations adopt microservice architecture, and split their large monolithic applications into hundreds (or thousands) of microservices, one of the biggest challenges they face is the lack of architectural and organizational standardization across their microservice ecosystems.
In this report, author Susan Fowler looks at lessons learned from driving a production-readiness initiative across Uber’s more than one thousand microservices. You’ll explore eight production-readiness requirements that she and her fellow SREs at Uber adopted after countless hours of research inside and outside the company—requirements that apply to every microservice while providing real, quantifiable results: stability, reliability, scalability, fault-tolerance, catastrophe-preparedness, performance, monitoring, and documentation.
This report explains why each of these requirements was specifically chosen.
Providing each microservice team with a set of requirements relevant to their service, and their service alone, simply isn’t scalable given that each microservice is a very small piece of an incredibly large ecosystem. And each standard alone isn’t enough to ensure availability, but together they are. You’ll find out how.
This report is an excerpt of Fowler’s forthcoming book, Production-Ready Microservices, in which she shares standards-based strategies for bringing microservices to a production-ready state.

This is very nice read. But some examples with numbers on how to deal with Microservices reliability, scalability and fault tolerant section would be even better and if some tools to do this work are specified in those sections would make it a great quick guide for implementing Microservices in Production.

Light introduction to microservices. Very high level which is great for beginners. I suppose it is intended to build up to the author's other book (Production-ready microservices).

A short book talks about production readiness. A good start for you and your company who wants to start a journey in microservice software.

While I like the ideas of the book they are presented in a very vague way.

Nice and quick intro to practical software architecture focused on microservices.
