Description
In this course, you will learn microservices API development using the Hexagonal Architecture. We will start the development from the scratch. Taking the small steps, we will be building the foundation by continuously improving the design of the application. We will explore how the dependency inversion plays a pivotal role in implementing the Hexagonal architecture.

Later on, we will be building an auth API to manage the Authentication and Authorization of our main application.

By the end of the course, we will learn to unit test various components using state and mocks and will also understand the complexities in testing those components.
