Python based Microservices - go from zero to hero!

This Course will get you started with designing, building and deploying microservices in production using Python, Flask and Docker containers. We start off by providing you with an explanation of what microservices are. Next, the Course prepares you with the process of packaging and containerization, using Docker together with Docker Compose for orchestration. Finally, you'll get to observe the end-to-end development of a fully functioning microservices based e-commerce demonstration using each of previously learnt tools and technologies.
