PHP Microservices with Lumen and OAuth2

Modern web development increasingly relies on distributed, lightweight systems. Transitioning from monolithic applications to a PHP microservice architecture allows you to build highly scalable, maintainable, and independent APIs. This written course guides you through the process of establishing a fully functional service-oriented architecture. You will gain the skills to deploy independent services, manage secure communication between them, and control access using industry-standard security protocols. What you'll learn: - Understand the core principles of microservice architecture and service-oriented design - Configure and structure lightweight PHP APIs using the Lumen microframework - Implement secure service-to-service communication and user authentication using OAuth2 - Apply modern PHP type safety, strict typing, and clean coding conventions - Design robust database interactions and migrations tailored for isolated microservices - Practice writing structured API tests to ensure reliable communication across your architecture You will start with foundational microservice concepts and Lumen setup before moving into database configuration, service routing, and advanced OAuth2 security flows. The text-based lessons walk you through conceptual foundations and clear, step-by-step code implementations. This course is designed for PHP developers who want to transition from traditional monoliths to microservices. No prior experience with Lumen or microservice architecture is required, though a basic understanding of PHP is recommended.
