Hands-On Microservices with Spring Boot and Spring Cloud

By: Magnus Larsson

Overview of this book

Microservices architecture allows developers to build and maintain applications with ease, and enterprises are rapidly adopting it to build software using Spring Boot as their default framework. With this book, you’ll learn how to efficiently build and deploy microservices using Spring Boot. This microservices book will take you through tried and tested approaches to building distributed systems and implementing microservices architecture in your organization. Starting with a set of simple cooperating microservices developed using Spring Boot, you’ll learn how you can add functionalities such as persistence, make your microservices reactive, and describe their APIs using Swagger/OpenAPI. As you advance, you’ll understand how to add different services from Spring Cloud to your microservice system. The book also demonstrates how to deploy your microservices using Kubernetes and manage them with Istio for improved security and traffic management. Finally, you’ll explore centralized log management using the EFK stack and monitor microservices using Prometheus and Grafana. By the end of this book, you’ll be able to build microservices that are scalable and robust using Spring Boot and Spring Cloud.

Configuring clients of a config server

To be able to get their configurations from the config server, our microservices need to be updated. This can be done through the following steps:

  1. Add the spring-cloud-starter-config, and spring-retry dependencies to the Gradle build file, build.gradle.
  2. Move the configuration file, application.yml, to the config repository and rename it to the name of the client as specified by the property, spring.application.name.
  1. Add a file named bootstrap.yml to the src/main/resources folder. This file holds the configuration required to connect to the config server. Refer to the following for an explanation of its content.
  2. Add credentials for accessing the config server to the Docker Compose files, for example, the product service:
product:
environment:
- CONFIG_SERVER_USR=${CONFIG_SERVER_USR}
- CONFIG_SERVER_PWD...
