Spring 5.0 Microservices - Second Edition

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 that focuses on Reactive Programming, you’ll be able to build modern, internet-scale Java applications in no time. The book starts off with guidelines to implement responsive microservices at scale. Next, you will understand how Spring Boot is used to deploy serverless autonomous services by removing the need to have a heavyweight application server. Later, you’ll learn how to go further by deploying your microservices to Docker and managing them with Mesos. By the end of the book, you will have gained more clarity on the implementation of microservices using Spring Framework and will be able to use them in internet-scale deployments through real-world examples.

Serverless computing


Serverless computing architecture or Functions as a Service (FaaS) has gained quite a bit of popularity these days. In serverless computing, developers need not worry about application servers, virtual machines, Containers, infrastructure, scalability, and other quality of services. Instead, developers write functions and drop those functions into an already running computing infrastructure. Serverless computing improves faster software deliveries as it eliminates the provisioning and management part of the infrastructure required by microservices. Sometimes, this is even referred to as NoOps.

FaaS platforms support multiple language runtimes, such as Java, Python, Go, and so on. There are many serverless computing platforms and frameworks available. Moreover, this space is still evolving. AWS Lambda, IBM OpenWhisk, Azure Functions, Google Cloud Functions are some of the popular managed infrastructures for serverless computing. Red Hat Funktion is another serverless computing...
