Spring 5.0 Microservices - Second Edition

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 8. Logging and Monitoring Microservices

One of the biggest challenges due to the very distributed nature of internet-scale microservices deployment is the logging and monitoring of individual microservices. It is difficult to trace end-to-end transactions by correlating logs emitted by different microservices. Like monolithic applications, there is no single pane of glass for monitoring microservices. This is important, especially when we deal with enterprise-scale microservices with a number of technologies, as discussed in the previous chapter.

This chapter will cover the necessity and importance of logging and monitoring in microservice deployments. This chapter will further examine the challenges and solutions to address logging and monitoring with a number of potential architectures and technologies.

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

  • The different options, tools, and technologies for log management
  • The use of Spring Cloud Sleuth for tracing...
