Spring 5.0 Microservices - Second Edition

By: Rajesh R V

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 9. Containerizing Microservices with Docker

In the context of microservices, containerized deployment is like the icing on the cake. It helps microservices to be further autonomous by self-containing the underlying infrastructure, thereby making microservices cloud-neutral.

This chapter will introduce the concepts and relevance of virtual machine images and containerized deployments of microservices. Then, this chapter will further familiarize you with how to build Docker images for BrownField PSS microservices developed with Spring Boot and Spring Cloud. Finally, this chapter will also touch base on how to manage, maintain, and deploy Docker images in a production-like environment.

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

  • The concept of containerization and its relevance in the context of microservices
  • How to build and deploy microservices as Docker images and containers
  • Using AWS as an example of cloud-based Docker deployments
