Hands-On Cloud Development with WildFly

By: Tomasz Adamski

Overview of this book

The book starts by introducing you to WildFly Swarm—a tool that allows you to create runnable microservices from Java EE components. You’ll learn the basics of Swarm operation—creating microservices containing only the parts of enterprise runtime needed in a specific case. Later, you’ll learn how to configure and test those services. In order to deploy our services in the cloud, we’ll use OpenShift. You’ll get to know basic information on its architecture, features, and relationship to Docker and Kubernetes. Later, you’ll learn how to deploy and configure your services to run in the OpenShift cloud. In the last part of the book, you’ll see how to make your application production-ready. You’ll find out how to configure continuous integration for your services using Jenkins, make your application resistant to network failures using Hystrix, and how to secure them using Keycloak. By the end of the book, you’ll have a functional example application and will have practical knowledge of Java EE cloud development that can be used as a reference in your other projects.

Service discovery

We have already shown you how to configure balancing for our application. We know now that you have access to the virtual cluster IP address behind which the request is being balanced by OpenShift. However, how do we actually know how to connect to our services? We are going to learn that in the next topic. Before we do that, we must introduce our new services that will be talking to each other.

New services

In the first chapter, we briefly introduced the pet store application and described the services that constitute it. By now, we have used solely the catalog service in our examples. Now it's time to implement both the pricing service and customer gateway service. These services will serve as an example...
