Mastering Spring Boot 2.0

By: Dinesh Rajput

Overview of this book

Spring is one of the best frameworks on the market for developing web, enterprise, and cloud ready software. Spring Boot simplifies the building of complex software dramatically by reducing the amount of boilerplate code, and by providing production-ready features and a simple deployment model. This book will address the challenges related to power that come with Spring Boot's great configurability and flexibility. You will understand how Spring Boot configuration works under the hood, how to overwrite default configurations, and how to use advanced techniques to prepare Spring Boot applications to work in production. This book will also introduce readers to a relatively new topic in the Spring ecosystem – cloud native patterns, reactive programming, and applications. Get up to speed with microservices with Spring Boot and Spring Cloud. Each chapter aims to solve a specific problem or teach you a useful skillset. By the end of this book, you will be proficient in building and deploying your Spring Boot application.

Netflix's Eureka works as service discovery and client. Spring Cloud provides support to Netflix's Eureka to provide solutions to the cloud-native problems.

Netflix's Ribbon provides client-side load balancing with the Spring's RestTemplate. Spring Cloud promotes service registration and client-side load-balancing features to create a more resilient system.

We have also discussed some parts of the Spring Data project. How Spring creates a repository using interfaces. In this chapter, we have created a repository and built a CRUD operation using the H2 database.

In the next chapter, we will explore and implement asynchronous reactive...
