Overview of this book

Spring Boot provides a variety of features that address today's business needs along with today's scalable requirements. In this book, you will learn how to leverage powerful databases and Spring Boot's state-of-the-art WebFlux framework. This practical guide will help you get up and running with all the latest features of Spring Boot, especially the new Reactor-based toolkit. The book starts off by helping you build a simple app, then shows you how to bundle and deploy it to the cloud. From here, we take you through reactive programming, showing you how to interact with controllers and templates and handle data access. Once you're done, you can start writing unit tests, slice tests, embedded container tests, and even autoconfiguration tests. We go into detail about developer tools, AMQP messaging, WebSockets, security, and deployment. You will learn how to secure your application using both routes and method-based rules. By the end of the book, you'll have built a social media platform from which to apply the lessons you have learned to any problem. If you want a good understanding of building scalable applications using the core functionality of Spring Boot, this is the book for you.

Summary

In this chapter, we created profile-specific configuration settings to handle the WebSocket broker in either a local or cloud-based environment. We plugged in a custom configuration property bean and used it to grab necessary details from our cloud provider so our chat channel would work properly. We then built some BASH scripts to deploy things to the cloud, configure necessary properties, and restart/cleanup if needed.

This is just the beginning. We touched upon a lot of things in this book, including web apps, data access, testing, tools, messaging, microservices, security, and production. And we did it all reactively, ensuring we use resources more efficiently and effectively.

Think our social media platform is worth a billion dollars? Maybe, maybe not. However, by using the length and breadth of Spring Boot 2.0, Spring Framework 5, and its reactor-based paradigm end...
