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.

Two-phase commit (2PC)

Two-phase commit (2PC) is very popular and used widely in monolithic applications. 2PC operates on an atomic commitment protocol called the 2PC protocol. It provides a way to perform distributed transactions.

The main component of the 2PC protocol is the transaction coordinator, which uses a distributed algorithm to coordinate all the processes that are involved in a distributed transaction, and commits or aborts the transaction based on consensus.

2PC is performed in two phases:

  1. Voting phase
  2. Completion phase

Voting phase

The voting phase is initiated by the transaction coordinator. It requests all participants to prepare the transaction commit and wait for their voting response (yes for commit and...
