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

Chapter 2. Defining Microservice Components

In the last chapter, you learned about microservice architecture and understood different aspects of using it. As mentioned earlier, it is not a silver bullet for the entire problem, and even it cannot be implemented directly to every organization. An organization has to study many things before jumping to the decision to use this architecture. After all the studying, if any organization concludes to go into the microservice architecture, then they will face the next problem: how to define a microservice?
