About this book

Microservices architecture allows developers to build and maintain applications with ease, and enterprises are rapidly adopting it to build software using Spring Boot as their default framework. With this book, you’ll learn how to efficiently build and deploy microservices using Spring Boot. This microservices book will take you through tried and tested approaches to building distributed systems and implementing microservices architecture in your organization. Starting with a set of simple cooperating microservices developed using Spring Boot, you’ll learn how you can add functionalities such as persistence, make your microservices reactive, and describe their APIs using Swagger/OpenAPI. As you advance, you’ll understand how to add different services from Spring Cloud to your microservice system. The book also demonstrates how to deploy your microservices using Kubernetes and manage them with Istio for improved security and traffic management. Finally, you’ll explore centralized log management using the EFK stack and monitor microservices using Prometheus and Grafana. By the end of this book, you’ll be able to build microservices that are scalable and robust using Spring Boot and Spring Cloud.

Whether you’re coming back to Java and need the latest guidance on micro services to get up to speed or you’re an old hand looking for the latest in best practices and what’s new, you can’t go wrong with this stellar volume and I highly recommend it.

There is a lot to this book in terms of pages, so there is a fair amount of detail between all the code and config examples. This allows you to get a fair amount of value from the sections you are interested in. With Spring Boot covering so many topics any book trying to cover the subject ends up with a fair amount of detail that a reader does not need at the time they purchase the book.It is clear that this is a 'third edition' as while the Spring Book content has been updated the underlying tooling/examples used for gradle and docker is showing its age. The examples use gradle 7.6, while 8.x is the likely starting point for any new development, and the command 'docker-compose' is used rather than 'docker compose' for docker examples which is very dated and not even supported in the latest versions of Docker Desktop.The source code for the examples is provided via github, it does not contain any comments so you need to refer back to the book to understand the context at times. It is also structured as a single example that grows in scale (and complexity) as you read the book. This makes it a little hard to use if you just want to understand a certain aspect of Spring Boot.

The Binding of book is really poor. The moment i took book in my hand, a page came out like a silk. Not recommended to get this book from the this seller until they sell a good binding book. You pay what they ask, so expecting a quality is not much espectation.
