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.

Introducing service discovery

The concept of service discovery was described in Chapter 1, Introduction to Microservices; please refer to the Service discovery section for more information. Netflix Eureka was introduced as a discovery service in Chapter 8Introduction to Spring Cloud; please refer to the Netflix Eureka as a discovery service section for more information. Before we jump into the implementation details, we will look at the following topics:

  • The problem with DNS-based service discovery
  • Challenges with service discovery
  • Service discovery with Netflix Eureka in Spring Cloud

The problem with DNS-based service discovery

So, what's the problem?

Why can't we simply start new instances of a microservice...
