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.

Potential next steps


We are now halfway through this book. So far, we have developed a set of microservices using Spring Boot. The following goals have been met:

  • Understanding the basic concepts of microservices architecture.
  • Learning the design practices and trade-offs between various design choices.
  • Understanding practical challenges by developing a complex use case ground up.
  • Implementing five microservices using Spring Boot. We also examined a number of useful Spring boot features for developing microservices.

This implementation is good and serves as the basic building block. The next area that we will try and understand is how to scale these microservices in an enterprise environment.

Note

There are generally two paths we can take from here--it largely depends on whether we want to go with Containers such as Docker or with plain Spring Boot applications.

The following two options are available to choose from:

  • Use Spring Boot to develop microservices, and run them as standalone services. In...
