Overview of this book

Spring Boot is a lightweight framework that provides a set of tools to create production-grade applications and services. Spring Boot 2.0 Projects is a comprehensive project-based guide for those who are new to Spring, that will get you up to speed with building real-world projects. Complete with clear step-by-step instructions, these easy-to-follow tutorials demonstrate best practices and key insights into building efficient applications with Spring Boot. The book starts off by teaching you how to develop a web application using Spring Boot, followed by giving you an understanding of creating a Spring Boot-based simple blog management system that uses Elasticsearch as the data store. Next, you’ll build a RESTful web services application using Kotlin and the Spring WebFlux framework - a new framework that enables you to create reactive applications in a functional way. Toward the last few chapters, you will build a taxi-hailing API with reactive microservices using Spring Boot, in addition to developing a Twitter clone with the help of a Spring Boot backend. To build on your knowledge further, you’ll also learn how to construct an asynchronous email formatter. By the end of this book, you’ll have a firm foundation in Spring programming and understand how to build powerful, engaging applications in Java using the Spring Boot framework.

Using Spring Data Redis for persistence

This section will introduce Redis and how to use Spring Data Redis repositories to provide Create, Retrieve, Update, Delete (CRUD) operations on Redis easily, and also how to use the reactive capabilities of Spring Data with Redis. The decision to use Redis was made because the data in a Taxi domain is highly volatile and tends to change very often (such as the location of a moving Taxi), and also because of its out-of-the-box Geo data support. This is because Redis holds in memory most of the time; it suits well for this.

Understanding Redis

Redis is a distributed, in-memory, key-value store that provides high scalability, reliability, and performance. Redis is much more than a distributed...
