Mastering Microservices with Java 9 - Second Edition

Overview of this book

Microservices are the next big thing in designing scalable, easy-to-maintain applications. They not only make app development easier, but also offer great flexibility to utilize various resources optimally. If you want to build an enterprise-ready implementation of the microservices architecture, then this is the book for you! Starting off by understanding the core concepts and framework, you will then focus on the high-level design of large software projects. You will gradually move on to setting up the development environment and configuring it before implementing continuous integration to deploy your microservice architecture. Using Spring security, you will secure microservices and test them effectively using REST Java clients and other tools like RxJava 2.0. We'll show you the best patterns, practices and common principles of microservice design and you'll learn to troubleshoot and debug the issues faced during development. We'll show you how to design and implement reactive microservices. Finally, we’ll show you how to migrate a monolithic application to microservices based application. By the end of the book, you will know how to build smaller, lighter, and faster services that can be implemented easily in a production environment.

Troubleshooting Guide

We have come so far and I am sure you are enjoying each and every moment of this challenging and joyful learning journey. I will not say that this book ends after this chapter, but rather you are completing the first milestone. This milestone opens the doors for learning and implementing a new paradigm in the cloud with microservice-based design. I would like to reaffirm that integration testing is an important way to test the interaction between microservices and APIs. While working on your sample application online table reservation system (OTRS), I am sure you have faced many challenges, especially while debugging the application. Here, we will cover a few of the practices and tools that will help you to troubleshoot the deployed application, Docker containers, and host machines.

This chapter covers the following three topics:

  • Logging and the ELK stack...
