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

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
