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.

Understanding gaps in the BrownField PSS microservices


In Chapter 7, Scale Microservices with Spring Cloud Components, the BrownField PSS microservices were developed using Spring Boot and Spring Cloud. Those microservices are deployed as versioned fat jar files on bare metals, specifically on a local development machine. In Chapter 8, Logging and Monitoring Microservices, challenges around logging and monitoring were addressed using centralized logging and monitoring solutions.

This is good enough for most implementations. However, there are still a few gaps in our BrownField PSS implementation. So far, the implementation has not used any cloud infrastructure. Dedicated machines, as in the traditional monolithic application deployments, are not the best solution for deploying microservices. Automation such as automatic provisioning, the ability to scale on demand, self service, and payment based on usage are essential capabilities required to manage large-scale microservice deployments efficiently...
