Overview of this book

Spring 5.0 is due to arrive with a myriad of new and exciting features that will change the way we’ve used the framework so far. This book will show you this evolution—from solving the problems of testable applications to building distributed applications on the cloud. The book begins with an insight into the new features in Spring 5.0 and shows you how to build an application using Spring MVC. You will realize how application architectures have evolved from monoliths to those built around microservices. You will then get a thorough understanding of how to build and extend microservices using Spring Boot. You will also understand how to build and deploy Cloud-Native microservices with Spring Cloud. The advanced features of Spring Boot will be illustrated through powerful examples. We will be introduced to a JVM language that’s quickly gaining popularity - Kotlin. Also, we will discuss how to set up a Kotlin project in Eclipse. By the end of the book, you will be equipped with the knowledge and best practices required to develop microservices with the Spring Framework.

Understanding microservices


The challenges with monolithic applications lead to organizations searching for the silver bullet. How will we be able to make more features live more often?

Many organizations have tried different architectures and practices to find a solution.

In the last few years, a common pattern emerged among all the organizations that were successful at doing this. From this emerged an architectural style that was called microservices architecture.

As Sam Newman says in the book Building Microservices: Many organizations have found that by embracing fine-grained, microservice architectures, they can deliver software faster and embrace newer technologies.

What is a microservice?

One of the principles I love in software is keep it small. This principle is applicable irrespective of what you are talking about--the scope of a variable, the size of a method, class, package, or a component. You would want all of these to be as small as they possibly could be.
