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.

Summary


In this chapter, we learned about Spring Boot, and its key features for building production-ready applications.

We explored the previous generation web applications, and then compared how Spring Boot makes developers' lives easier in developing fully qualified microservices. We also saw HTTP-based and message-based asynchronous reactive microservices. Further, we explored how to achieve some of the key capabilities required for microservices such as security, HATEOAS, cross-origin, and so on, with practical examples. We also saw how the Spring Boot actuators help the operations teams, and also how to customize our needs. Then, documenting microservices APIs was also discussed. We closed the chapter with a complete example that puts together all our learnings.

In the next chapter, we will take a step back, and perform a pragmatic analysis of microservices with the help of practical day-to-day scenarios.
