Spring 5.0 Microservices - Second Edition

By: Rajesh R V

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.

Microservices early adopters - Is there a common theme?


Many organizations had already successfully embarked on their journey to the microservices world. In this section, we will examine some of the front runners on the microservices space to analyze why they did what they did, and how they did it? The following is a curated list of organizations adopted microservices, based on the information available on the internet:

  • Netflix (www.netflix.com): Netflix, an international, on-demand, media streaming company, is a pioneer in the microservices space. Netflix transformed their large pool of developers developing traditional monolithic code to smaller development teams producing microservices. These microservices work together to stream digital media to millions of Netflix customers. At Netflix, engineers started with monolithic architecture, went through the pain, and then broke the application into smaller units that are loosely coupled and aligned to business capability.
  • Uber (www.uber.com...
