Mastering Microservices with Java 9 - Second Edition

Overview of this book

Microservices are the next big thing in designing scalable, easy-to-maintain applications. They not only make app development easier, but also offer great flexibility to utilize various resources optimally. If you want to build an enterprise-ready implementation of the microservices architecture, then this is the book for you! Starting off by understanding the core concepts and framework, you will then focus on the high-level design of large software projects. You will gradually move on to setting up the development environment and configuring it before implementing continuous integration to deploy your microservice architecture. Using Spring security, you will secure microservices and test them effectively using REST Java clients and other tools like RxJava 2.0. We'll show you the best patterns, practices and common principles of microservice design and you'll learn to troubleshoot and debug the issues faced during development. We'll show you how to design and implement reactive microservices. Finally, we’ll show you how to migrate a monolithic application to microservices based application. By the end of the book, you will know how to build smaller, lighter, and faster services that can be implemented easily in a production environment.

Microservice deployment using containers

You might have got the point about Docker after reading Chapter 1, A Solution Approach.

A Docker container provides a lightweight runtime environment, consisting of the core features of a virtual machine and the isolated services of operating systems, known as a Docker image. Docker makes the packaging and execution of microservices easier and smoother. Each operating system can have multiple Dockers, and each Docker can run single application.

Installation and configuration

Docker needs a virtualized server if you are not using a Linux OS. You can install VirtualBox or similar tools such as Docker Toolbox to make it work for you. The Docker installation page gives more details about...
