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.

Monitoring microservices


Microservices are truly distributed systems with fluid deployment topology. Without a sophisticated monitoring in place, the operations team may run into trouble managing large-scale microservices. Traditional monolithic application deployments are limited to a number of known services, instances, machines, and so on. This is easier to manage as compared to a large number of microservices instances potentially running across different machines. To add more complications, these services dynamically change its topologies. The centralized logging capability only addresses part of the issue. It is important for the operations team to understand the runtime deployment topology, and also the behavior of the systems. This demands more than centralized logging can offer.

In general, application monitoring is more of a collection of metrics and aggregation and validating them against certain baseline values. If there is a service-level breach, then monitoring tools generate...
