Books courses on microservices architecture (using NodeJS as an example)?

Question

Node.js

There is a lot of hype on microservices, but I cannot find a normal source of up-to-date data.
My application has grown to 5 independent applications - front, front api, CMS admin, CMS api, and something else. All completely separate Node applications, and my deployment process boils down to pouring all 5 applications into separate turnips and then deploying each to the server with the appropriate settings. I do everything with a bash script, I know about Ansible, later my hands will reach. Containers are also not particularly desirable to use.
I'm actually interested in how to properly organize, manage, deploy all this, how to store repositories, and so on ... Advise current literature or courses on the topic? I can’t find anything: all the courses on how to create another Node application on Express, and a book on microservices that caught my eye in 2014.

Answer 1

5 independent applications are not microservices. It's just 5 applications.
