By: Sourabh Sharma

Overview of this book

Microservices are key to designing scalable, easy-to-maintain applications. This latest edition of Mastering Microservices with Java, works on Java 11. It covers a wide range of exciting new developments in the world of microservices, including microservices patterns, interprocess communication with gRPC, and service orchestration. This book will help you understand how to implement microservice-based systems from scratch. You'll start off by understanding the core concepts and framework, before focusing on the high-level design of large software projects. You'll then use Spring Security to secure microservices and test them effectively using REST Java clients and other tools. You will also gain experience of using the Netflix OSS suite, comprising the API Gateway, service discovery and registration, and Circuit Breaker. Additionally, you'll be introduced to the best patterns, practices, and common principles of microservice design that will help you to understand how to troubleshoot and debug the issues faced during development. By the end of this book, you'll have learned how to build smaller, lighter, and faster services that can be implemented easily in a production environment.

Setting up a UI application

As we are planning to use the latest technology stack for UI application development, we will use Node.js and npm (Node.js package manager), which provide the open source runtime environment for developing JavaScript applications. You will need to install the latest LTS release of Node.js because we are going to use Angular 7.

I would recommend going through this section once. It will introduce you to JavaScript build tools and stacks. However, you can skip it if already you know the JavaScript build tools or do not want to explore them.

Node.js is built on Chrome's V8 JavaScript engine and uses an event-driven, non-blocking I/O, which makes it lightweight and efficient. The default package manager of Node.js, npm, is the largest ecosystem of open source libraries. It allows for the installation of Node.js programs and makes it easier to specify...
