Hands-On Cloud-Native Microservices with Jakarta EE

By: Luigi Fugaro, Mauro Vocale

Overview of this book

Businesses today are evolving rapidly, and developers now face the challenge of building applications that are resilient, flexible, and native to the cloud. To achieve this, you'll need to be aware of the environment, tools, and resources that you're coding against. The book will begin by introducing you to cloud-native architecture and simplifying the major concepts. You'll learn to build microservices in Jakarta EE using MicroProfile with Thorntail and Narayana LRA. You'll then delve into cloud-native application x-rays, understanding the MicroProfile specification and the implementation/testing of microservices. As you progress further, you'll focus on continuous integration and continuous delivery, in addition to learning how to dockerize your services. You'll also cover concepts and techniques relating to security, monitoring, and troubleshooting problems that might occur with applications after you've written them. By the end of this book, you will be equipped with the skills you need to build highly resilient applications using cloud-native microservice architecture.

Building a fantasy football application

Having presented Thorntail's features and its relationship with Java EE/Jakarta EE and MicroProfile.io, it's time to start to build our microservices application.

We will build a simple fantasy football application that is divided into four Maven projects, as follows:

  1. A microservice application that handles the football players domain; it will expose create, read, update, and delete (CRUD) API, and it will store and retrieve information using a PostgreSQL database.
  2. A microservice application that handles the fantasy football player domain and the presidents of the fantasy teams; it will expose a CRUD API, and it will store and retrieve information using a MySQL database.
  1. A microservice application that handles the fantasy team's domain; it will expose a CRUD API, and it will store and retrieve information using a MongoDB...
