Overview of this book

The Spring Framework is an application framework and inversion of the control container for the Java platform. The framework's core features can be used by any Java application, but there are extensions to build web applications on top of the Java EE platform. This book will help you implement the microservice architecture in Spring Framework, Spring Boot, and Spring Cloud. Written to the latest specifications of Spring, you'll be able to build modern, Internet-scale Java applications in no time. We would start off with the guidelines to implement responsive microservices at scale. We will then deep dive into Spring Boot, Spring Cloud, Docker, Mesos, and Marathon. Next you will understand how Spring Boot is used to deploy autonomous services, server-less by removing the need to have a heavy-weight application server. Later you will learn how to go further by deploying your microservices to Docker and manage it with Mesos. By the end of the book, you'll will gain more clarity on how to implement microservices using Spring Framework and use them in Internet-scale deployments through real-world examples.

Chapter 2. Building Microservices with Spring Boot

Developing microservices is not so tedious anymore thanks to the powerful Spring Boot framework. Spring Boot is a framework to develop production-ready microservices in Java.

This chapter will move from the microservices theory explained in the previous chapter to hands-on practice by reviewing code samples. This chapter will introduce the Spring Boot framework and explain how Spring Boot can help build RESTful microservices in line with the principles and characteristics discussed in the previous chapter. Finally, some of the features offered by Spring Boot to make microservices production-ready will be reviewed.

By the end of this chapter, you will have learned about:

  • Setting up the latest Spring development environment

  • Developing RESTful services using the Spring framework

  • Using Spring Boot to build fully qualified microservices

  • Useful Spring Boot features to build production-ready microservices
