Mastering Microservices with Java 9 - Second Edition

Overview of this book

Microservices are the next big thing in designing scalable, easy-to-maintain applications. They not only make app development easier, but also offer great flexibility to utilize various resources optimally. If you want to build an enterprise-ready implementation of the microservices architecture, then this is the book for you! Starting off by understanding the core concepts and framework, you will then focus on the high-level design of large software projects. You will gradually move on to setting up the development environment and configuring it before implementing continuous integration to deploy your microservice architecture. Using Spring security, you will secure microservices and test them effectively using REST Java clients and other tools like RxJava 2.0. We'll show you the best patterns, practices and common principles of microservice design and you'll learn to troubleshoot and debug the issues faced during development. We'll show you how to design and implement reactive microservices. Finally, we’ll show you how to migrate a monolithic application to microservices based application. By the end of the book, you will know how to build smaller, lighter, and faster services that can be implemented easily in a production environment.

Microservices frameworks and tools

It is always better not to reinvent the wheel. Therefore, we would like to explore what tools are already available and provide the platform, framework, and features that make microservice development and deployment easier.

Throughout the book, we have used Spring Cloud extensively, due to the same reason: it provides all of the tools and platforms required to make microservice development very easy. Spring Cloud uses Netflix Open Source Software (OSS). Let us explore Netflix OSS—a complete package.

I have also added a brief overview about how each tool will help to build good microservice architecture.
