Microservice is an architectural style for implementing a single application as a suite of small services. Each service can be deployed and managed separately. This is an emerging software architectural style adopted by many enterprises today in order to meet the rapidly evolving business needs. To follow this pattern for your JAX-RS application, you may want to break down the top-level monolithic JAX-RS resources into separate modules, where each module contains the logically related JAX-RS resource classes. Each module is deployed as a self-contained WAR file. Services communicate with each other via synchronous protocols such as REST over HTTP or asynchronous protocols such as messaging queue. If the performance is really a concern, you can consider using binary protocols, such as Thrift or Avro, for enabling the communication...

Overview of this book
Representational State Transfer (REST) is a simple yet powerful software architecture style to create lightweight and scalable web services. The RESTful web services use HTTP as the transport protocol and can use any message formats, including XML, JSON(widely used), CSV, and many more, which makes it easily inter-operable across different languages and platforms.
This successful book is currently in its 3rd edition and has been used by thousands of developers. It serves as an excellent guide for developing RESTful web services in Java.
This book attempts to familiarize the reader with the concepts of REST. It is a pragmatic guide for designing and developing web services using Java APIs for real-life use cases following best practices and for learning to secure REST APIs using OAuth and JWT. Finally, you will learn the role of RESTful web services for future technological advances, be it cloud, IoT or social media.
By the end of this book, you will be able to efficiently build robust, scalable, and secure RESTful web services using Java APIs.
