Spring 5.0 Microservices - Second Edition

By: Rajesh R V

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.

Infrastructure capabilities


Certain infrastructure capabilities are required for a successful deployment and managing large-scale microservices. When deploying microservices at scale, not having proper infrastructure capabilities can be challenging and lead to failures.

In some cases, Platform as a Service (PaaS) vendors such as Red Hat OpenShift offer all these capabilities out of the box.

We will discuss infrastructure capabilities in Chapter 9, Containerizing Microservices with Docker.

Cloud

Microservices implementation will be difficult in a traditional data center environment with long lead time to provision infrastructures. Even a large number of infrastructure dedicated per microservice may not be very cost effective. Managing them internally in a data center may increase the cost of ownership and operations. An Infrastructure as a Service (IaaS) cloud-like infrastructure will be better for microservice deployment.

Microservices require a supporting elastic cloud-like infrastructure that...
