In this chapter, we began with exploring the cloud platform and the cloud computing stack. During this chapter, you learned what the different twelve-factor apps methodologies are, and how they can help develop microservices. Lastly, you got to know about what kind of ideal setup environment a developer machine should have to create or get started with application creation.

In the next chapter, we will start building our microservices by creating backend REST APIs, and testing with the API call or using the Python framework as well.
