Spring Microservices in Action

Summary

Spring Microservices in Action teaches you how to build microservice-based applications using Java and the Spring platform.

About the technology

Microservices break up your code into small, distributed, and independent services that require careful forethought and design. Fortunately, Spring Boot and Spring Cloud simplify your microservice applications, just as the Spring Framework simplifies enterprise Java development. Spring Boot removes the boilerplate code involved with writing a REST-based service. Spring Cloud provides a suite of tools for the discovery, routing, and deployment of microservices to the enterprise and the cloud.

About the Book

Spring Microservices in Action teaches you how to build microservice-based applications using Java and the Spring platform. You'll learn to do microservice design as you build and deploy your first Spring Cloud application. Throughout the book, carefully selected real-life examples expose microservice-based patterns for configuring, routing, scaling, and deploying your services. You'll see how Spring's intuitive tooling can help augment and refactor existing applications with micro services.

What's Inside

• Core microservice design principles
• Managing configuration with Spring Cloud Config
• Client-side resiliency with Spring, Hystrix, and Ribbon
• Intelligent routing using Netflix Zuul
• Deploying Spring Cloud applications
