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.

Getting started with Spring Boot


These are the different ways in which Spring Boot-based application development can be started:

  • By using Spring Boot CLI as a command-line tool
  • By using IDEs like Spring Tool Suite (STS), which provide Spring Boot, supported out of the box
  • By using the Spring Initializr project at http://start.spring.io
  • By using SDKMAN! (The Software Development Kit Manager) from http://sdkman.io

The first three options will be explored in this chapter, developing a variety of example services.
