Overview of this book

Spring Boot is a lightweight framework that provides a set of tools to create production-grade applications and services. Spring Boot 2.0 Projects is a comprehensive project-based guide for those who are new to Spring, that will get you up to speed with building real-world projects. Complete with clear step-by-step instructions, these easy-to-follow tutorials demonstrate best practices and key insights into building efficient applications with Spring Boot. The book starts off by teaching you how to develop a web application using Spring Boot, followed by giving you an understanding of creating a Spring Boot-based simple blog management system that uses Elasticsearch as the data store. Next, you’ll build a RESTful web services application using Kotlin and the Spring WebFlux framework - a new framework that enables you to create reactive applications in a functional way. Toward the last few chapters, you will build a taxi-hailing API with reactive microservices using Spring Boot, in addition to developing a Twitter clone with the help of a Spring Boot backend. To build on your knowledge further, you’ll also learn how to construct an asynchronous email formatter. By the end of this book, you’ll have a firm foundation in Spring programming and understand how to build powerful, engaging applications in Java using the Spring Boot framework.

Building a Simple Blog Management System

This chapter will introduce the reader to the details of how to build a simple blog management system using Spring Boot 2 as the base application development framework. It will explain how to use Elasticsearch as the persistence layer, which is a widely used data source for storing high-volume, high-velocity data. Subsequently, it will use Apache FreeMarker Template Engine to create presentation views for the blog management system. Furthermore, it will use Spring WebFlux and Spring Security WebFlux to implement controllers and provide authentication and authorization.

The following topics will be covered in this chapter:

  • Using Spring Data Elasticsearch for persistence
  • Using Apache FreeMarker for the view
  • Using Spring WebFlux for the controller
  • Using Spring Security for authentication and authorization
  • Demonstrating Bloggest
