Microservices with Spring Boot and Spring Cloud

Book excerpt: A step-by-step guide to creating and deploying production-quality microservices-based applications Key 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 Description With this book, you'll learn how to efficiently build and deploy microservices. This new edition has been updated for 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. Starting with a set of simple cooperating microservices, you'll add persistence and resilience, make your microservices reactive, and document their APIs using OpenAPI. You’ll understand 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 learn how to deploy your microservices using Kubernetes and adopt Istio. You'll explore centralized log management using the Elasticsearch, Fluentd, and Kibana (EFK) stack and monitor microservices using Prometheus and Grafana. By the end of this book, you'll be confident in building microservices that are scalable and robust using Spring Boot and Spring Cloud.
