Found this in a little free library. I know enough about microservice architectures to be dangerous.
Poorly copyedited, self published work. Reads a bit like slop even though it predates slop. After reading the first 20 pages I only skimmed the rest and I didn't notice anything obviously incorrect but it doesn't feel well suited to either a fully technical nor to a fully non-technical audience. Also feels a bit out of date, technologically.
I probably would have given this 2 stars if I read it in 2019 but at this point in time, I would probably recommend talking to a well-regarded LLM (e.g. Claude or GPT5) about microservice architectures instead. More targeted advice for your needs and better written.

Despite the author's claim that this book is for non-programmers it relies on an understanding of the principles as well as the practices and acronyms.
Adding an acronym list as well as an index would help significantly with the readability of this book as would a good editor. (I suspect this book did not see an editor based on sentence structure etc.)
I would not recommend purchasing this book and got it thinking I was getting something else - my bad.

Needs some immediate editing for grammar and formatting, but a useful book to get started. Illustrations were good.
