Summary

In this introductory chapter, I described my own way into microservices and delved into a bit of their history. We defined what a microservice is – a kind of autonomous distributed component with some specific requirements. We also went through both the good and challenging aspects of microservice-based architecture.

To handle these challenges, we defined a set of design patterns and briefly mapped the capabilities of open source products such as Spring Boot, Spring Cloud, Kubernetes, and Istio to the design patterns.

You’re eager to develop your first microservice now, right? In the next chapter, you will be introduced to Spring Boot and complementary open source tools that we will use to develop our first microservices.
