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.

Summary


In this chapter, you learned how to scale a Twelve-Factor Spring Boot microservice using the Spring Cloud project. What you learned was then applied to the BrownField Airline's PSS microservice that we developed in the previous chapter.

We then explored the Spring Config server for externalizing the microservices' configuration, and the way to deploy the Config server for high availability. We also discussed the declarative service calls using Feign, examined the use of Ribbon and Eureka for load balancing, dynamic service registration, and discovery. Implementation of an API gateway was examined by implementing Zuul. Finally, we concluded with a reactive style integration of microservices using Spring Cloud Stream.

BrownField Airline's PSS microservices are now deployable on the Internet scale. Other Spring Cloud components such as Hyterix, Sleuth, and so on will be covered in Chapter 7, Logging and Monitoring Microservices. The next chapter will demonstrate autoscaling features,...
