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.

Summary

In this chapter, we have explored various practices and principles that are best-suited for microservice-based products and services. Microservice architecture is a result of cloud environments, which are being used widely in comparison to on-premises-based monolithic systems. We have identified a few of the principles related to size, agility, and testing, that have to be in place for successful implementation.

We have also got an overview of different tools used by Netflix OSS for the various key features required for successful implementation of microservice-architecture-based products and services. Netflix offers a video rental service, using the same tools successfully.
