Mastering Spring Boot 2.0

By: Dinesh Rajput

Overview of this book

Spring is one of the best frameworks on the market for developing web, enterprise, and cloud ready software. Spring Boot simplifies the building of complex software dramatically by reducing the amount of boilerplate code, and by providing production-ready features and a simple deployment model. This book will address the challenges related to power that come with Spring Boot's great configurability and flexibility. You will understand how Spring Boot configuration works under the hood, how to overwrite default configurations, and how to use advanced techniques to prepare Spring Boot applications to work in production. This book will also introduce readers to a relatively new topic in the Spring ecosystem – cloud native patterns, reactive programming, and applications. Get up to speed with microservices with Spring Boot and Spring Cloud. Each chapter aims to solve a specific problem or teach you a useful skillset. By the end of this book, you will be proficient in building and deploying your Spring Boot application.

Summary


In this chapter, we discussed cloud-native application patterns and problems due to the cloud-native architecture. We have also discussed the microservices architecture and learned that it breaks monolithic applications into separate pieces of the application to focus on the bounded context. Spring Cloud addresses and provides solutions for cloud-native problems.

We have created a configuration server to provide a set of configuration files from a Git repository to client applications. In this chapter, we learned about the Spring Cloud configuration service and how to build and consume the configuration service.

In this chapter, we explored the need for the configuration service and the solution, by Spring Cloud Config, to store config in environments and retrieve the config through a simple point-to-point service call.

In the next chapter, we'll look at the Eureka Client and Server for the service discovery.
