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.

Summary

In this chapter, we have explored various practices and principles which are best-suited for microservice-based products and services. Microservice architecture is a result of cloud environments, which are being used widely in comparison to on-premises-based monolithic systems. We have identified a few of the principles related to size, agility, and testing, that have to be in place for successful implementation.

We have also got an overview of different tools used by Netflix OSS for the various key features required for successful implementation of microservice-architecture-based products and services. Netflix offers a video rental service, using the same tools successfully.

In the next chapter, readers may encounter issues and they may get stuck on those problems. The chapter explains the common problems encountered during the development of microservices, and their...
