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.

Deploying ;an application to Cloud


Spring Boot has great support for most popular Cloud Platform as a Service (PaaS) providers.

Some of the popular ones are as follows:

  • Cloud Foundry
  • Heroku
  • OpenShift
  • Amazon Web Services (AWS)

In this section, we will focus on deploying our application to Cloud Foundry.

Cloud Foundry

The Cloud Foundry Java buildpack has excellent support for Spring Boot. We can deploy standalone applications based on JARs as well as the traditional Java EE WAR applications.

Cloud Foundry provides a Maven plugin to deploy applications:

<build>
   <plugins>
      <plugin>
         <groupId>org.cloudfoundry</groupId>
         <artifactId>cf-maven-plugin</artifactId>
         <version>1.1.2</version>
      </plugin>
   </plugins>
</build>

Before we can deploy our application, we need to configure the application with a target and a space to deploy the application to.

The following are the steps involved:

  1. We need to create...
