Building Serverless Java Apps on AWS (Paperback)

Paperback. Most developers who want to put a Java app on AWS stall on the same question: where do I begin? This book is built to answer it.The hardest part of moving a Java app to the cloud is rarely the technology. It is knowing where to start, what to wire up first, and what to verify before real users arrive. This book removes that roadblock and gives you a clear, practical path onto Amazon Web Services with Spring Boot.It is a step-by-step guide that takes you from an empty project to a fully deployed, working API. Using Spring Boot, you will build a real book collection management API, schedule background jobs, containerize the app with Docker, and deploy it to AWS Fargate. From there, you will secure the API, test it with JUnit, add a formatter for consistent code style, and stand up a complete CI/CD pipeline.The approach is deliberately hands-on. Rather than cataloging every possible option, it follows one real project from start to finish so the pieces actually connect.The book also takes you into the Model Context Protocol near the end. You will turn that same API into an MCP server so AI agents like Claude and Cursor can call it directly, with no extra infrastructure to manage. The Java ecosystem is moving fast on AI integration, and the book gets you there without a separate agent platform.It is written for Java developers who want a real on-ramp to AWS, whether you are putting together a proof of concept for your team, shipping a side project, or helping a small team get to market without breaking the bank.Readers get end-of-chapter quizzes and critical thinking questions to lock in what they have learned. You also get worked solutions, appendices, and access to the full source code from the examples in the book.Stop wondering where to begin. Start building. This item is printed on demand.
