Spring 5.0 Microservices - Second Edition

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 that focuses on Reactive Programming, you’ll be able to build modern, internet-scale Java applications in no time. The book starts off with guidelines to implement responsive microservices at scale. Next, you will understand how Spring Boot is used to deploy serverless autonomous services by removing the need to have a heavyweight application server. Later, you’ll learn how to go further by deploying your microservices to Docker and managing them with Mesos. By the end of the book, you will have gained more clarity on the implementation of microservices using Spring Framework and will be able to use them in internet-scale deployments through real-world examples.

Chapter 5. Microservices Capability Model

In the previous chapter, Chapter 4, Applying Microservices Concepts, you learned some of the practical design aspects of the microservices development. In this chapter, we will take a step back and put together our learnings into a capability model.

What is the importance of a microservices capability model? Microservices are not as simple as developing web applications with UI, business logic, and databases. This is good enough for simple services, or when dealing with fewer microservices. Developers need to think beyond service implementation when working with large-scale microservices. There are a number of ecosystem capabilities required for the successful delivery of microservices. It is important to ensure that those required capabilities are in place as a precondition. Unfortunately, there is no standard reference model available for microservice implementations.

Even though the capabilities required for microservice implementation may vary...
