Mastering Spring 5.0: Master reactive programming, microservices, Cloud Native applications, and more review

Key Features

• Explore the new features and components in Spring
• Evolve towards micro services and cloud native applications
• Gain powerful insights into advanced concepts of Spring and Spring Boot to develop applications more effectively
• Understand the basics of Kotlin and use it to develop a quick service with Spring Boot

Book Description

Spring 5.0 is due to arrive with a myriad of new and exciting features that will change the way we've used the framework so far. This book will show you this evolution-from solving the problems of testable applications to building distributed applications on the cloud.

The book begins with an insight into the new features in Spring 5.0 and shows you how to build an application using Spring MVC. You will realize how application architectures have evolved from monoliths to those built around microservices. You will then get a thorough understanding of how to build and extend microservices using Spring Boot. You will also understand how to build and deploy Cloud-Native microservices with Spring Cloud. The advanced features of Spring Boot will be illustrated through powerful examples. We will be introduced to a JVM language that's quickly gaining popularity - Kotlin. Also, we will discuss how to set up a Kotlin project in Eclipse.

By the end of the book, you will be equipped with the knowledge and best practices required to develop microservices with the Spring Framework.

What you will learn

• Explore the new features in Spring Framework 5.0
• Build microservices with Spring Boot
• Get to know the advanced features of Spring Boot in order to effectively develop and monitor applications
• Use Spring Cloud to deploy and manage applications on the Cloud
• Understand Spring Data and Spring Cloud Data Flow
• Understand the basics of reactive programming
• Get to know the best practices when developing applications with the Spring Framework
• Create a new project using Kotlin and implement a couple of basic services with unit and integration testing

Cloud Native Java: Designing Resilient Systems with Spring Boot, Spring Cloud, and Cloud Foundry review

What separates the traditional enterprise from the likes of Amazon, Netflix, and Etsy? Those companies have refined the art of cloud native development to maintain their competitive edge and stay well ahead of the competition. This practical guide shows Java/JVM developers how to build better software, faster, using Spring Boot, Spring Cloud, and Cloud Foundry.

Many organizations have already waded into cloud computing, test-driven development, microservices, and continuous integration and delivery. Authors Josh Long and Kenny Bastani fully immerse you in the tools and methodologies that will help you transform your legacy application into one that is genuinely cloud native.

In four sections, this book takes you through:

• The Basics: learn the motivations behind cloud native thinking; configure and test a Spring Boot application; and move your legacy application to the cloud
• Web Services: build HTTP and RESTful services with Spring; route requests in your distributed system; and build edge services closer to the data
• Data Integration: manage your data with Spring Data, and integrate distributed services with Spring’s support for event-driven, messaging-centric architectures
• Production: make your system observable; use service brokers to connect stateful services; and understand the big ideas behind continuous delivery

Spring Boot: How To Get Started and Build a Microservice - Second Edition (Brief books for developers) (Volume 1) review

Sale for a short time - regular price 14.95$

Heavily revised and extended 2nd edition

From Zero Spring Experience to Building Your First Microservice with Spring Boot 2

Learn to build your first microservice with Spring Boot. Together we will write a production-ready microservice with a REST API in just a few hours. All starting from having zero experience with Spring at all.

Updated to use Spring Boot 2.0.0.RELEASE

Our guides give you brief lessons on a single topic to get you started in no time. We leave the fluff out so you can focus and learn better and faster. Stop wasting hours of your life with watching video courses or reading boring compendiums. Use our guide and save your precious time and be way ahead of your competitors on that next big project.

We build a real application (less than 850 lines of code though) using a standard Maven project structure together, and I will explain you the steps and libraries involved on the go.

You learn best by coding. The way I love learning too. And not by reading fluffy compendiums or watching 10 hours and more of videos. Sure, you can do that, but any developer following my guide will be way ahead of you before you are even halfway through that video course.

What you will build:
We build a Microservice for storing comments and providing a REST Interface for interacting with the data. The sample application is modeled after a real production application to guide you through building your first Spring Boot application.

What you will learn:

• What problem the Spring Framework actually solves
• The basics of the Spring Framework aka Core
• How to build a microservice with Spring Boot 2
• How to work with a relational database using the Spring Data JPA Framework
• How to write the REST API using Spring MVC
• How to create a service layer and integrate a legacy library using its own Spring ApplicationContext in an XML file
• How to test the application
• A simple way to secure your application
• How to use monitoring and health check out of the box with Spring Boot
• How to deploy your application
• How to navigate in the project with Maven

You must have experience with Java as we are not covering Java basics. Everything else we use is covered in the pocket guide.

If you have questions, do not hesitate to contact me using the email address at the end of the book. I'll answer your questions and improve the book with your feedback.
