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.

Environment Setup

This chapter focuses on the development environment setup and configurations. If you are familiar with the tools and libraries, you could skip this chapter and continue with Chapter 3, Domain-Driven Design, where you can explore domain-driven design (DDD).

This chapter will cover the following topics:

  • Spring Boot
  • REST
  • An embedded web server
  • Testing using Postman
  • Maven

This book will use only the open source tools and frameworks for examples and code. This book will also use Java 11 as its programming language, while the application framework will be based on the Spring Framework. It will also make use of Spring Boot for developing microservices.

Eclipse, IntelliJ IDEA, and NetBeans' Integrated Development Environment (IDE) provide state-of-the-art support for both Java and JavaScript, and is sufficient for our needs. These have evolved a lot over the years...
