Overview of this book

The Spring Framework is an application framework and inversion of the control container for the Java platform. The framework’s core features can be used by any Java application, but there are extensions to build web applications on top of the Java EE platform. This book will help you implement the microservice architecture in Spring Framework, Spring Boot, and Spring Cloud. Written to the latest specifications of Spring that focuses on Reactive Programming, you’ll be able to build modern, internet-scale Java applications in no time. The book starts off with guidelines to implement responsive microservices at scale. Next, you will understand how Spring Boot is used to deploy serverless autonomous services by removing the need to have a heavyweight application server. Later, you’ll learn how to go further by deploying your microservices to Docker and managing them with Mesos. By the end of the book, you will have gained more clarity on the implementation of microservices using Spring Framework and will be able to use them in internet-scale deployments through real-world examples.

Chapter 3. Building Microservices with Spring Boot

Developing microservices is not so tedious anymore--thanks to the powerful Spring Boot framework. Spring Boot is a framework for developing production-ready microservices in Java.

This chapter will move from the microservices theory explained in the previous chapters to hands-on practice by reviewing code samples. Here, we will introduce the Spring Boot framework, and explain how Spring Boot can help building RESTful microservices inline with the principles and characteristics discussed in the previous chapter. Finally, some of the features offered by Spring Boot for making the microservices production ready will be reviewed.

At the end of this chapter, you will have learned about the following:

  • Setting up the latest Spring development environment
  • Developing RESTful services using Spring Framework 5 and Spring Boot
  • Building reactive microservices using Spring WebFlux and Spring Messaging
  • Securing microservices using Spring Security and OAuth2
  • Implementing...
