Book Description

The Spring framework provides great flexibility for Java development, which also results in tedious configuration work. Spring Boot addresses the configuration difficulties of Spring and makes it easy to create stand-alone, production-grade Spring-based applications.

This practical guide makes the existing development process more efficient. As developers, you will gain the skills and expertise to efficiently develop, test, deploy, and monitor applications using Spring Boot.

Starting with an overview of the important Spring Boot features, you will learn to create a web application for a RESTful service. You will learn to fine-tune the behavior of a web application by learning about custom routes and asset paths and modify routing patterns. To address the requirements of a complex enterprise application, we also cover the creation of custom Spring Boot starters.

We also cover the new and improved facilities available to create various kinds of tests introduced in Spring Boot 1.4. You will gain insights into Spring Boot DevTools, which simplifies the common tasks of dynamic code recompiling/restarting and remote debugging. The book covers the basics of the Spring Boot Cloud module so we can explore various Cloud modules.

What You Will Learn

Get to know about Spring Boot Starters and create custom auto-configurations
Work with custom annotations that enable bean activation based on different conditions
Use DevTools to develop and debug applications easier
Get to know the effective testing techniques by integrating Cucumber and Spock
See an eternal application configuration using Consul
Enhance an existing Spring Boot application to become a Spring Boot Cloud one
Use Hashicorp Consul and Netflix Eureka for dynamic Service Discovery
Grasp the various mechanisms that Spring Boot provides to examine data about an application’s health

Alex Antonov

Alex Antonov is a very passionate technologist with a hunger to learn new tools, languages, techniques, and concepts behind enterprise application design. His specialty lies in designing highly scalable distributed large-scale enterprise systems, which he has been successfully doing for the last 12 years. He is also a frequent presenter on the topics of architecture and design at conferences such as UberConf, JavaOne, and Spring 2GX.

Alex joined Orbitz Worldwide in 2004, and in his current role of Senior Principal Engineer, he is responsible for providing technical leadership and guidance in the development of foundational technologies, core libraries, and APIs for enterprise-wide use, as well as establishing and maintaining common design principles and standards used within the company and integration of new software development practices within the development community. He has extensive experience in enterprise architecture designing distributed systems and spends a lot of time doing object domain modeling and focusing on domain-driven design and behavior-driven development and testing. Prior to that, Alex was a lead engineer at the same team that was responsible for web application frameworks and developing common practices and additional functionality on top of Spring MVC and Webflow.

He has been a long-time Spring user, starting with Spring 2.0.8 all the way to the latest and greatest—Spring Boot. Ever since the introduction of Spring Boot, he has been writing applications using the framework as well as contributing patches to the codebase. His general interests lie in the area of distributed computing and technologies and frameworks that enable ease of application creation and cross communication. Besides Java, he is also proficient in Ruby/Rails, PHP, Groovy, and is currently learning Erlang.

Alex is a graduate of Loyola University of Chicago, with a BS in computer science and an MS in computer science specializing in software architecture. He currently resides in Evanston, IL. When not coding, Alex enjoys playing tennis, hiking, skiing, and traveling.
