Mastering Microservices with Java - Third Edition

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.

Inter-Process Communication Using REST

In this chapter, we'll learn how REST is used for inter-process communication. In the process of REST-based inter-process communication, we will explore various REST clients—RestTemplate, the OpenFeign client, and the newly revamped HTTPClient from Java 11, for implementing the inter-process, also known as inter-service communication. This chapter will also elaborate on the use of load balancing for inter-process communication. It is very handy when more than one instance of a service is deployed in the environment.

This chapter is divided into the following sections:

  • REST and inter-process communication
  • Load balanced calls and RestTemplate implementation
  • OpenFeign client implementation
  • Java 11 HTTPClient

We'll use the existing code base of Chapter 5, Microservice Patterns – Part 1, and add new code in booking-service...
