Preface

Presently, microservices are the de-facto way to design scalable, easy-to-maintain applications. Microservice-based systems not only make application development easier, but also offer great flexibility in utilizing various resources optimally. If you want to build an enterprise-ready implementation of a microservice architecture, then this is the book for you!

Starting off by understanding the core concepts and framework, you will then focus on the high-level design of large software projects. You will gradually move on to setting up the development environment and configuring it, before implementing continuous integration to deploy your microservice architecture. Using Spring Security, you will secure microservices and integrate sample online table reservation system (OTRS) services with an Angular-based UI app. We'll show you the best patterns, practices, and common principles of microservice design, and you'll learn to troubleshoot and debug the issues faced during development. We'll show you how to design and implement event-based and gRPC microservices. You will learn various ways to handle distributed transactions and explore choreography and orchestration of business flows. Finally, we'll show you how to migrate a monolithic application to a microservice-based application.

By the end of the book, you will know how to build smaller, lighter, and faster services that can be implemented easily in a production environment.
