Building Microservices with Spring

Overview of this book

Getting Started with Spring Microservices begins with an overview of the Spring Framework 5.0, its design patterns, and its guidelines that enable you to implement responsive microservices at scale. You will learn how to use GoF patterns in application design. You will understand the dependency injection pattern, which is the main principle behind the decoupling process of the Spring Framework and makes it easier to manage your code. Then, you will learn how to use proxy patterns in aspect-oriented programming and remoting. Moving on, you will understand the JDBC template patterns and their use in abstracting database access. After understanding the basics, you will move on to more advanced topics, such as reactive streams and concurrency. Written to the latest specifications of Spring that focuses on Reactive Programming, the Learning Path teaches you how to build modern, internet-scale Java applications in no time. Next, you will understand how Spring Boot is used to deploying serverless autonomous services by removing the need to have a heavyweight application server. You’ll also explore ways to deploy your microservices to Docker and managing them with Mesos. By the end of this Learning Path, you will have the clarity and confidence for implementing microservices using Spring Framework. This Learning Path includes content from the following Packt products: • Spring 5 Microservices by Rajesh R V • Spring 5 Design Patterns by Dinesh Rajput

Spring Boot for building RESTful microservices


Spring Boot is a utility framework from the Spring team for bootstrapping Spring-based applications and microservices quickly and easily. The framework uses an opinionated approach over configurations for decision making, thereby reducing the effort required on writing a lot of boilerplate code and configurations. Using the 80-20 principle, developers should be able to kick start a variety of Spring applications with many default values. Spring Boot further presents opportunities to the developers for customizing applications by overriding auto-configured values.

Spring Boot not only increases the speed of development, but also provides a set of production-ready ops features such as health checks and metrics collections. Since Spring Boot masks many configuration parameters and abstracts many lower level implementations, it minimizes the chances of errors to a certain extent. Spring Boot recognizes the nature of the application based on the libraries...
