Hands-On Microservices with Spring Boot and Spring Cloud

By: Magnus Larsson

Overview of this book

Microservices architecture allows developers to build and maintain applications with ease, and enterprises are rapidly adopting it to build software using Spring Boot as their default framework. With this book, you’ll learn how to efficiently build and deploy microservices using Spring Boot. This microservices book will take you through tried and tested approaches to building distributed systems and implementing microservices architecture in your organization. Starting with a set of simple cooperating microservices developed using Spring Boot, you’ll learn how you can add functionalities such as persistence, make your microservices reactive, and describe their APIs using Swagger/OpenAPI. As you advance, you’ll understand how to add different services from Spring Cloud to your microservice system. The book also demonstrates how to deploy your microservices using Kubernetes and manage them with Istio for improved security and traffic management. Finally, you’ll explore centralized log management using the EFK stack and monitor microservices using Prometheus and Grafana. By the end of this book, you’ll be able to build microservices that are scalable and robust using Spring Boot and Spring Cloud.

Manual tests of the new APIs and the persistence layer

Now, it is finally time to start everything up and test it manually using the Swagger UI.

Build and start the system landscape with the following command:

cd $BOOK_HOME/Chapter06
./gradlew build && docker-compose build && docker-compose up

Open the Swagger UI in a web browser, http://localhost:8080/swagger-ui.html, and perform the following steps on the web page:

  1. Click on product-composite-service-impl and the POST method to expand them.
  2. Click on the Try it out button and go down to the body field.
  3. Replace the default value, 0,  of the productId field with 123456.
  4. Scroll down to the Execute button and click on it.
  5. Verify that the returned response code is 200.

Following is a sample screenshot after hitting the Execute button:
