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 the challenges around logging and monitoring when dealing with internet-scale microservices.

We explored the various solutions for centralized logging and also learned how to implement a custom centralized logging using Elasticsearch, Logstash, and Kibana (ELK). In order to understand distributed tracing, we upgraded the BrownField microservices using the Spring Cloud Sleuth.

In the second half of this chapter, we went deeper into the capabilities required for microservices monitoring solutions and different approaches for monitoring. Subsequently, we examined a number of tools available for microservices monitoring.

The BrownField microservices were further enhanced with the Spring Cloud Hystrix and Turbine for monitoring latencies and failures in inter-service communications. The examples also demonstrated how to use the Circuit Breaker pattern to fall back to another service in case of failures.

Finally, we also touched upon the importance of Data...
