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.

I am super happy with this book. It offers wide variety of use-cases with explanations, thought process and how we can implement them.

The comprehensive guide "Microservices with Spring Boot 3 and Spring Cloud: Build resilient and scalable microservices using Spring Cloud, Istio, and Kubernetes" is perfect for developers with a foundation in Java and Spring Boot who aspire to develop and deploy microservices. The book is up-to-date with the latest technological advancements, including Spring Boot 3 and Spring Cloud 2022, ensuring readers have access to the most current practices and examples.Starting with the basics, it provides a step-by-step approach to building microservices, from simple to complex, with a progression towards distributed applications suitable for production. It delves into deploying these services using Kubernetes and managing them with Istio, emphasizing the importance of security, observability, and traffic management.The book's instructional content is comprehensive, covering the construction of reactive microservices, resilience, and scalability techniques using Spring Cloud, as well as security implementations for APIs using OAuth 2.1/OIDC with Spring Security. It teaches the use of Docker for consistent development-to-production workflows, and the application of advanced tools like Spring AOT and GraalVM for native compilation of microservices, enhancing performance.Moreover, the guide discusses distributed system testing using JUnit, test containers, Gradle, and bash scripts, and highlights the significance of distributed tracing with Micrometer Tracing. This ensures that readers not only learn to build microservices but also to effectively test and monitor them, rounding out a full spectrum of skills needed for modern microservices development.There is just one small negative point. I implemented the code examples step by step and especially for the Kubernetes parts I need to do some changes to get the examples running successfully.All together I can recommend the book for all Java/Kotlin developers that want to get a comprehensive overview about all topics that are relevant for getting an amount of communicating microservices to production.

The book is well written for beginners to experts. The content is battle tested with latest advancements and changes in the technology. The book provides tools and approaches to scale from zero to millions. This is a must have/read for java/spring developers in the microservices landscape.This covers building reactive microservices, develop resilient and scalable microservices, OAuth 2.1/OIDC for security, docker & kubernetes based microservices, various testing and build tools for CI/CD, native microservices development, distributed tracing and microservices monitoring approaches and much more...
