Preface

Microservices are the next big thing in designing scalable, easy-to-maintain applications. They not only makes application development easier, but also offer great flexibility to utilize 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 test them effectively using REST Java clients and other tools such as RxJava 2.0. 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 reactive microservices. 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.
