About this ebook
"FeathersJS Essentials"
"FeathersJS Essentials" is an authoritative guide crafted for developers and architects seeking to master the art of building robust, scalable, and real-time applications using FeathersJS. Bringing together the core philosophies and architectural patterns of FeathersJS, the book begins by demystifying its microservice-ready, event-driven design principles, unpacking the central role of service-oriented architecture and exploring integration with leading HTTP frameworks such as Express and Koa. Readers will gain an insider's view of transport abstractions, application lifecycle management, and event handling—foundations that empower highly flexible and scalable application design.
The book delves deep into advanced technical strategies, guiding readers through sophisticated project initialization using Feathers CLI, rigorous configuration management, modularization for enterprise maintainability, and the orchestration of middleware for both HTTP and WebSocket protocols. Every aspect of modern backend development is addressed, from defining custom services and hooks to implementing secure authentication, authorization, and compliance best practices. Special emphasis is placed on performance optimization, state management, security auditing, and maintaining compliance with industry standards such as GDPR and HIPAA.
Expanding beyond the fundamentals, "FeathersJS Essentials" systematically explores real-time system architecture, advanced hook and middleware patterns, API design (REST and GraphQL), and integration with external microservices. Readers will find invaluable insights into testing methodologies, continuous integration, health checks, diagnostics, and strategies for seamless deployment in production environments, including containerization, scaling, and zero-downtime rollouts. Whether you're engineering the next generation of cloud applications or upgrading mission-critical infrastructure, this book offers practical, battle-tested solutions and best practices that unlock the full potential of FeathersJS.
