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.

The football player microservice

In this section, we will build the microservice related to the management of football players. In order to do so, we will need to install PostgreSQL on the system, in addition to the prerequisites described in the preceding section. As I stated previously, we will use Docker to install and handle PostgreSQL. I'm using a macOS High Sierra for my working environment, and I will describe how to install and run PostgreSQL in a Docker container.

Database installation and configuration

Having installed Docker on your machine, it's time to run the containerized version of PostgreSQL, as follows:

  1. Open a new Terminal window and launch the following command:
$ docker run --name postgres_thorntail...
