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, you'll be able to build modern, Internet-scale Java applications in no time. We would start off with the guidelines to implement responsive microservices at scale. We will then deep dive into Spring Boot, Spring Cloud, Docker, Mesos, and Marathon. Next you will understand how Spring Boot is used to deploy autonomous services, server-less by removing the need to have a heavy-weight application server. Later you will learn how to go further by deploying your microservices to Docker and manage it with Mesos. By the end of the book, you'll will gain more clarity on how to implement microservices using Spring Framework and use them in Internet-scale deployments through real-world examples.

The business case


When building business cases for migration, one of the commonly asked questions is "how does the microservices architecture avoid resurfacing of the same issues in another five years' time?"

Microservices offers a full list of benefits, which you learned in Chapter 1, Demystifying Microservices, but it is important to list a few here that are critical in this situation:

  • Service dependencies: While migrating from monolithic applications to microservices, the dependencies are better known, and therefore the architects and developers are much better placed to avoid breaking dependencies and to future-proof dependency issues. Lessons from the monolithic application helps architects and developers to design a better system.

  • Physical boundaries: Microservices enforce physical boundaries in all areas including the data store, the business logic, and the presentation layer. Access across subsystems or microservices are truly restricted due to their physical isolation. Beyond the...
