Spring 5.0 Microservices - Second Edition

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.

DevOps, Cloud, and Containers


The trios Cloud (more specifically, Containers), Microservices and DevOps, are targeting a set of common objectives--speed of delivery, business value, and cost benefits. All three can stay evolved independently, but they complement each other to achieve the desired common goals. Organizations embarking on any of these naturally tend to consider the others as they are closely linked together:

Many organizations start their journey with DevOps as an organizational practice to achieve high velocity release cycles, but eventually move to microservices architecture and cloud. However, it is not mandatory to have microservices and Cloud to support DevOps. However, automating release cycles of large monolithic applications does not make much sense, and, in many cases, it would be impossible to achieve. In such scenarios, microservices architecture and Cloud will be handy when implementing DevOps.

If we flip the coin, Cloud does not need a microservices architecture...
