Microservices with Spring Boot and Spring Cloud

Create and deploy production-quality microservices-based applications — New edition updated for the smooth running of Spring, Java, Kubernetes, and Istio, with an introduction to Helm 3 and support for Mac and Windows with WSL2Key FeaturesBuild cloud-native production-ready microservices with this comprehensively updated guideUnderstand the challenges of building large-scale microservice architecturesLearn how to get the best out of Spring Cloud, Kubernetes, and Istio in combinationBook DescriptionWant to build and deploy microservices, but don’t know where to start? Welcome to Microservices with Spring Boot and Spring Cloud. This edition features the most recent versions of Spring, Java, Kubernetes, and Istio, demonstrating faster and simpler handling of Spring Boot, local Kubernetes clusters, and Istio installation. The expanded scope includes native compilation of Spring-based microservices, support for Mac and Windows with WSL2, and an introduction to Helm 3 for packaging and deployment. A revamped security chapter now follows the OAuth 2.1 specification and makes use of the newly launched Spring Authorization Server from the Spring team. You’ll start with a set of simple cooperating microservices, then add persistence and resilience, make your microservices reactive, and document their APIs using OpenAPI. Next, you’ll learn how fundamental design patterns are applied to add important functionality, such as service discovery with Netflix Eureka and edge servers with Spring Cloud Gateway. You’ll deploy your microservices using Kubernetes and adopt Istio, then explore centralized log management using the Elasticsearch, Fluentd, and Kibana (EFK) stack, and then monitor microservices using Prometheus and Grafana. By the end of this book, you'll be building scalable and robust microservices using Spring Boot and Spring Cloud.What you will learnBuild reactive microservices using Spring BootDevelop resilient and scalable microservices using Spring CloudUse OAuth 2.1/OIDC and Spring Security to protect public APIsImplement Docker to bridge the gap between development, testing, and productionDeploy and manage microservices with KubernetesApply Istio for improved security, observability, and traffic managementWrite and run automated microservice tests with JUnit, testcontainers, Gradle, and bashWho this book is forIf you’re a Java or Spring Boot developer learning how to build microservice landscapes from scratch, then this book is for you. You don’t need any prior knowledge about microservices architecture to get started, but a solid grasp and enough experience in Java and Spring Boot to build apps autonomously is a must.
