Practical Microservices

Overview of this book

<p>A microservice architecture helps you build your application as a suite of different services. This approach has been widely adopted as it helps to easily scale up your application with reduced dependencies. This way if a part of your application is corrupted, it can be fixed easily thereby eliminating the possibility of completely shutting down your software. This book will teach you how to leverage Java to build scalable microservices. You will learn the fundamentals of this architecture and how to efficiently implement it practically.</p> <p>We start off with a brief introduction to the microservice architecture and how it fares with the other architectures. The book dives deep into essential microservice components and how to set up seamless communication between two microservice end points. You will create an effective data model and learn different ways to test and deploy a microservices. You will also learn the best way to migrate your software from a monolith to a microservice architecture.</p> <p>Finishing off with monitoring, scaling and troubleshooting, this book will set a solid foundation for you to start implementing microservices.</p>

Preface

Summary


In this chapter, you learned about microservices and their architecture. You also understood the benefits we can enjoy while using microservice architecture and also the tradeoffs of those benefits. In the upcoming chapter, we will define a sample project risk-assessing system that will have microservice architecture. This system will evolve with each chapter of the book. The risk-calculating project will use Spring Boot and Docker for development and deployment. Both these technologies were introduced in this chapter. What's next? The next chapter will explain defining microservices and the discovery of the service. Also, we will define our first microservice of user registration with Spring Boot.
