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.

Microservice deployment using containers

Docker is a very popular containerization product. You might have an idea about it, or you can refer to Chapter 1, A Solution Approach, for an overview.

A Docker container provides a lightweight runtime environment that consists of the core features of a virtual machine and the isolated services of operating systems, known as a Docker image. Docker makes the packaging and execution of microservices easier and smoother. Each operating system can have multiple Docker instances, and each Docker instance can run multiple applications.

Installation and configuration

Docker needs a virtualized server if you are not using a Linux OS. Windows 10 provides Hyper-V. You can install VirtualBox...
