Building microservices architecture that is efficient as well as lightweight into your applications can be challenging due to the complexity of all the interacting pieces. This book shows how to overcome these issues and craft applications that are built as small standard units using proven best practices and avoiding common pitfalls. Simon Fraser and Tarek Ziadé use hands-on examples to illustrate how to build efficient microservices using Quart, SQLAlchemy, and other modern Python tools.
