Overview of this book

Spring Framework has become the most popular framework for Java development. It not only simplifies software development but also improves developer productivity. This book covers effective ways to develop robust applications in Java using Spring. The course is up made of three modules, each one having a take-away relating to building end-to-end java applications. The first module takes the approach of learning Spring frameworks by building applications.You will learn to build APIs and integrate them with popular fraemworks suh as AngularJS, Spring WebFlux, and Spring Data. You will also learn to build microservices using Spring's support for Kotlin. You will learn about the Reactive paradigm in the Spring architecture using Project Reactor. In the second module, after getting hands-on with Spring, you will learn about the most popular tool in the Spring ecosystem-Spring Boot. You will learn to build applications with Spring Boot, bundle them, and deploy them on the cloud. After learning to build applications with Spring Boot, you will be able to use various tests that are an important part of application development. We also cover the important developer tools such as AMQP messaging, websockets, security, and more. This will give you a good functional understanding of scalable development in the Spring ecosystem with Spring Boot. In the third and final module, you will tackle the most important challenges in Java application development with Spring Boot using practical recipes. Including recipes for testing, deployment, monitoring, and securing your applications. This module will also address the functional and technical requirements for building enterprise applications. By the end of the course you will be comfortable with using Spring and Spring Boot to develop Java applications and will have mastered the intricacies of production-grade applications.

Spring Data project


The Spring Data project is an umbrella project that offers a familiar way to create our data access layer on a wide range of database technologies. It means there are high-level abstractions to interact with different kinds of data structures, such as the document model, column family, key-value, and graphs. Also, the JPA specification is fully supported by the Spring Data JPA project.

These modules offer powerful object-mapping abstractions for our domain model.

There is support for different types of data structures and databases. There is a set of sub-modules to keep the framework modularity. Also, there are two categories of these sub-modules: the first one is a subset of projects supported by the Spring Framework Team and the second one is a subset of sub-modules provided by the community.

Projects supported by the Spring Team include:

  • Spring Data Commons
  • Spring Data JPA
  • Spring Data MongoDB
  • Spring Data Redis
  • Spring Data for Apache Cassandra
