Building Microservices with Spring

Overview of this book

Getting Started with Spring Microservices begins with an overview of the Spring Framework 5.0, its design patterns, and its guidelines that enable you to implement responsive microservices at scale. You will learn how to use GoF patterns in application design. You will understand the dependency injection pattern, which is the main principle behind the decoupling process of the Spring Framework and makes it easier to manage your code. Then, you will learn how to use proxy patterns in aspect-oriented programming and remoting. Moving on, you will understand the JDBC template patterns and their use in abstracting database access. After understanding the basics, you will move on to more advanced topics, such as reactive streams and concurrency. Written to the latest specifications of Spring that focuses on Reactive Programming, the Learning Path teaches you how to build modern, internet-scale Java applications in no time. Next, you will understand how Spring Boot is used to deploying serverless autonomous services by removing the need to have a heavyweight application server. You’ll also explore ways to deploy your microservices to Docker and managing them with Mesos. By the end of this Learning Path, you will have the clarity and confidence for implementing microservices using Spring Framework. This Learning Path includes content from the following Packt products: • Spring 5 Microservices by Rajesh R V • Spring 5 Design Patterns by Dinesh Rajput

Request and response body conversion


Conversion is required in the case of a Reactive web application . The spring core module provides reactive Encoder and Decoder to enable the serialization of a Flux of bytes to and from the typed objects.

Let's see the following example for request body type conversions. Developers do not need to forcefully do type conversion--the Spring Framework automatically converts it for you in both types of approaches: Annotation-based programming, and functional-based programming.

  • Account account: This means that the account object is deserialized before the controller is called without blocking.
  • Mono<Account> account: This means that AccountController can use the Mono to declare logic. The account object is first deserialized, and then this logic is executed.
  • Flux<Account> accounts: This means that AccountController can use Flux in case of the input streaming scenario.
  • Single<Account> account: This is very similar to the Mono, but here the Controller...
