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.

Use of correlation ID for service calls

When you make a call to any REST endpoint and if any issue pops up, it is difficult to trace the issue and its root origin because each call is made to a server, and this call may call another, and so on and so forth. This makes it very difficult to figure out how one particular request was transformed and what it was called. Normally, an issue that is caused by one service can have domino effect on other services or can fail other service operation. It is very difficult to track and may require an enormous amount of effort. If it is monolithic, you know that you are looking in the right direction, but microservices make it difficult to understand what the source of the issue is and where you should get your data.

Let's see how we can tackle...
