Building Microservices with Spring: Master design patterns of the Spring framework to build smart, efficient microservices

Learn and use the design patterns and best practices in Spring to solve common design problems and build user-friendly microservices

Key Features

• Study the benefits of using the right design pattern in your toolkit
• Manage your code easily with Spring's dependency injection pattern
• Explore the features of Docker and Mesos to build successful microservices

Book Description

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

What you will learn

• Develop applications using dependency injection patterns
• Build web applications using traditional Spring MVC patterns
• Utilize the reactive programming pattern to build reactive web apps
• Learn concurrency and handle multiple connections inside a web server
• Use Spring Boot and Spring Cloud to develop microservices
• Leverage reactive programming to build cloud-native applications

Who this book is for

Getting Started with Spring Microservices is ideal for Spring developers who want to use design patterns to solve common design problems and build cloud-ready, Internet-scale applications, and simple RESTful services.

He has written two bestselling books, Spring 5 Design Patterns and Mastering Spring Boot 2.0. Mastering Spring Boot 2.0 is the Amazon #1 best-selling book on Java. He has more than 10 years of experience with various aspects of Spring and cloud-native development, such as REST APIs and microservice architecture. He is currently working as an architect at a leading company. He has worked as a tech lead at Bennett, Coleman & Co. Ltd, and Paytm. He has a master's degree in computer engineering from JSS Academy of Technical Education, Noida, and lives in Noida with his family.

Rajesh R V is a seasoned IT architect with extensive experience in diversified technologies and more than 18 years of airline IT experience.

He received a degree in computer engineering from the University of Cochin, India, and he joined the JEE community during the early days of EJB. During his course as an architect, he worked on many large-scale, mission-critical projects, including the new generation Passenger Reservation System (iFly Res) and next generation Cargo Reservation System (Skychain, CROAMIS) in the Airline domain.

At present, as a chief architect at Emirates, Rajesh handles the solution architecture portfolio spread across various capabilities, such as JEE, SOA, NoSQL, IoT, cognitive computing, mobile, UI, and integration. At Emirates, the Open Travel Platform (OTP) architected by him earned the group the prestigious 2011 Red Hat Innovation Award in the Carved Out Costs category. In 2011, he introduced the innovative concept of the Honeycomb architecture based on the hexagonal architecture pattern for transforming the legacy mainframe system.

Rajesh has a deep passion for technology and architecture. He also holds several certifications, such as BEA Certified Weblogic Administrator, Sun Certified Java Enterprise Architect, Open Group Certified TOGAF practitioner, Licensed ZapThink Architect in SOA, and IASA global CITA-A Certified Architecture Specialist.
