Building Microservices with Spring

Overview of this book

Getting Started with Spring Microservices begins with an overview of the Spring Framework 5.0, its design patterns, and its guidelines that enable you to implement responsive microservices at scale. You will learn how to use GoF patterns in application design. You will understand the dependency injection pattern, which is the main principle behind the decoupling process of the Spring Framework and makes it easier to manage your code. Then, you will learn how to use proxy patterns in aspect-oriented programming and remoting. Moving on, you will understand the JDBC template patterns and their use in abstracting database access. After understanding the basics, you will move on to more advanced topics, such as reactive streams and concurrency. Written to the latest specifications of Spring that focuses on Reactive Programming, the Learning Path teaches you how to build modern, internet-scale Java applications in no time. Next, you will understand how Spring Boot is used to deploying serverless autonomous services by removing the need to have a heavyweight application server. You’ll also explore ways to deploy your microservices to Docker and managing them with Mesos. By the end of this Learning Path, you will have the clarity and confidence for implementing microservices using Spring Framework. This Learning Path includes content from the following Packt products: • Spring 5 Microservices by Rajesh R V • Spring 5 Design Patterns by Dinesh Rajput

Microservice frameworks


Microservices are already in the main stream. When developing microservices, there are some cross-cutting concerns that need to be implemented, such as externalized logging, tracing, embedded HTTP listener, health checks, and so on. As a result, significant efforts will go into developing these cross-cutting concerns. Microservices frameworks are emerged in this space to fill these gaps.

There are many microservices frameworks available apart from those that are mentioned specifically under the serverless computing. The capabilities vary between these microservice frameworks. Hence, it is important to choose the right framework for development.

Spring Boot, Dropwizard, and Wildfly Swarm are popular enterprise-grade HTTP/REST implementations for the development of microservices. However, these frameworks only provide minimalistic support for large-scale microservices development. Spring Boot, together with Spring Cloud, offers sophisticated support for microservices...
