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.

Setting up a development environment


To crystalize microservices' concepts, a couple of microservices will be built. For that, it is assumed that the following components are installed:

Alternately, other IDEs like IntelliJ IDEA/NetBeans/Eclipse could be used. Similarly, alternate build tools like Gradle can be used. It is assumed that Maven repository, class path, and other path variables are set properly for running STS and Maven projects.

This chapter is based on the following versions of Spring libraries:

  • Spring Framework 5.0.0.RC1
  • Spring Boot 2.0.0. M1

Note

The focus of this chapter is not to explore the full features of Spring Boot, but to understand some of the essential and important features of Spring Boot, required when building microservices.
