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.

Target implementation


The following diagram represents the implementation view of the BrownField PSS microservices system:

As shown in the preceding diagram, as an example, we are implementing four microservices--Search, Fare, Booking, and Check-In. In order to test the application, there is a website application developed using Spring MVC with Thymeleaf templates. The asynchronous messaging is implemented with the help of RabbitMQ. In this sample implementation, the default H2 database is used as the in-memory store for demonstration purposes.

As shown in the preceding diagram, the call from Booking to Fare uses Spring WebFlux. It uses Mono construct to reactively collect remote fare data, as shown in the following code snippet:

    public void validateFareReactively(BookingRecord record){
      Mono<Fare> result = webClient.get().uri("/fares/get?
        flightNumber="+record.getFlightNumber()
        +"&flightDate="+record.getFlightDate())
        .accept(MediaType.APPLICATION_JSON...
