What is custom duty/charge?

Customs duty are charges levied on goods when they cross international borders. It is a tax that is imposed on imported goods. These duties are charged by special authorities and bodies created by local governments and are meant to protect local industries, economies, and businesses.

Do I have to pay customs charges for the print book order?

The orders shipped to the countries that are listed under EU27 will not bear custom charges. They are paid by Packt as part of the order.

List of EU27 countries: www.gov.uk/eu-eea:

A custom duty or localized taxes may be applicable on the shipment and would be charged by the recipient country outside of the EU27 which should be paid by the customer and these duties are not included in the shipping charges been charged on the order.

How do I know my custom duty charges?

The amount of duty payable varies greatly depending on the imported goods, the country of origin and several other factors like the total invoice amount or dimensions like weight, and other such criteria applicable in your country.

For example:

If you live in Mexico, and the declared value of your ordered items is over $ 50, for you to receive a package, you will have to pay additional import tax of 19% which will be $ 9.50 to the courier service.
Whereas if you live in Turkey, and the declared value of your ordered items is over € 22, for you to receive a package, you will have to pay additional import tax of 18% which will be € 3.96 to the courier service.

I received this book as a gift from a friend. This book mainly focuses on microservices architecture, pitfalls, anti-patterns, challenges related to its design, architecture, and adoption of microservices whether you are founding microservices from the scratch or refactoring existing monolith to microservices architecture. If you want to grasp microservices regardless of whether you have prior working experience or totally new to this arena, this book is for you.Here is some core focus of this book:This book starts with the outlook and benefits of the microservices architecture and what are some components (state management, API gateway, orchestration, messaging) and challenges its design. How cloud-native can play an important role in microservices architecture with the help of twelve-factor design principles.Why DDD (Domain Driven Design) plays a vital role in the implementation and success of microservices. Taking advantage of DDD for collaboration among the stakeholders and toward the defining microservices bounded context.Architecture pitfall and different complexities and how to deal with those with tools in the adaption of microservices and how team knowledge of cloud Native, orchestration, and choosing the right tools can help in the adoption of microservices.Pitfalls and considerations while transferring a monolith app into microservices and why should give importance to availability, scalability, and reliability during those transitions.Distributed transactions in the context of microservices architecture and how to tackle them.Microservice communication patterns, common protocols, pitfalls like direct communication of frontend with microservices how to avoid with help of API gateway.Focus on non-functional requirements security, logging, metrics, resilience, tracing, translation, and discovery with help of chassis and gatekeeper pattern.Deployment plan and roll back and plan and strategy. It also discusses the role of new technology like IaaC (Infrastructure as Code), DevOps, CI/CD, Agile Process, and Kubernetes.Importance of the various types of testing in the context of microservices and skip testing antipatterns.Though some sections of the book discussed the Azure cloud components, I think someone can understand or can find what is the counterpart in other Cloud platforms. I must say the authors did a great job setting up the attitude and understanding of microservices architecture and its challenges. So that you are ready during your journey toward the microservices architecture.

This is well organized and well written book on Microservices. Not your usual cup of tea, as it points to the pitfalls and reasons why some of the organizations fail to implement the microservices architecture correctly in the first place. Great deal for anybody who is diving into the world of microservices. Very well organized, while there are not many - great illustrations when needed and brings out the most important concepts when it comes to the topic and how to avoid problems when implementing them. Highly recommended read from these authors!!!

1.) Heavy focus on avoiding pitfalls so you don't have to learn microservices the hard way.2.) Lays out the key principles and reasoning behind DDD3.) Walks you through real-world scenarios and how to execute a successful, secure deployment.4.) Relevant for any software engineer or app developer working in or around a DevOps environment.

It is a good book for the cloud architect. The authors do a good job of describing the limitations and strengths of various architectures. In particular, the book is not tied to any particular technology or vendor. This book can be used as a tutorial or as a reference book for designing microservice architectures. I liked the discussion about performance regarding various choices.

This book is a tool for engineers designing microservice-based applications. It delves into real-world use cases and explains anti-patterns and alternative practices in microservices development that will help you avoid architectural mistakes. It will also help you understand how to identify common pitfalls involved in migrating monolithic applications to microservicesOverall this book is a great starting point to understand how to avoid critical mistakes while building microservices and the right practices to adopt early in the product life cycle to ensure the success of a microservices initiative.It isn't worth less than 5 stars.
