Spring Boot and Angular

Overview of this book

Angular makes building applications with the web easy and Spring Boot helps get an application up and running using just a few lines of code and minimal configuration. This book provides insights into building full-stack apps using Angular and Spring Boot effectively to reduce overall development time and increase efficiency. You'll start by setting up your CI/CD pipeline and then build your web application’s backend guided by best practices. You'll then see how Spring Boot allows you to build applications faster and more efficiently by letting the Spring Framework and Spring Boot extension do the heavy lifting. The book demonstrates how to use Spring Data JPA and add its dependencies along with Postgres dependencies in the project to save or persist a user's data in a database for future use. As you advance, you'll see how to write tests and test a service using Mockito. Finally, you'll create a CI workflow or pipeline for a Spring Boot and Angular application to enable operations to deliver quality applications faster. By the end of this Spring Boot and Angular book, you'll be able to build a full-stack web application and deploy it through continuous integration and continuous deployment.

Adding Redis for caching

In this section, we will now discuss Redis, which can improve the performance of our REST applications. Redis is an open source, in-memory, key-value data store that allows data to reside in memory to enable low latency and faster data access. Compared to traditional databases, Redis doesn’t require disk access, having all data cached in the memory, which gives a quicker response.

It is now widely used, especially for large applications that receive millions of requests. It is compatible with different data structures such as strings, lists, sets, hashes, bitmaps, and geospatial and is compatible with Publish/Subscribe (Pub/Sub), used for real-time chat applications.

Installing the Redis server

Before using Redis on our Spring Boot application, we will need to install the Redis server in our terminal. Let’s discuss how to install Redis on different operating systems.

macOS

Redis is simple to install in a macOS system; we can use...
