Learn Microservices with Spring Boot

Hi ProductHunt! I'm excited to share my book with you! As a Software Developer, I read many books to keep me up-to-date with the latest programming techniques. I believe it's a great way to learn, especially when they teach you the concepts in a practical way. That's why I decided to write this book. Microservices are getting very popular these days. This type of software architecture has a lot of advantages like flexibility and ease at scale. Mapping them into small teams in an organization also gives a lot of efficiency in development. However, going on the adventure of microservices knowing only the benefits is a wrong call: you need to know what you are facing and be prepared for that in advance. You can get a lot of knowledge from many books and articles on the Internet but, when you get your hands into the mud, the story changes. The book keeps you away from the Ivory Tower and takes you to the Cave, explaining the concepts and then illustrating them with a reference application that grows along the chapters. The microservices are written using Spring Boot and Java 8, and the tools provided by Spring to set up everything around them: Spring Cloud Netflix, Spring AMQP, etc. The six chapters guide you to: * Start with a small monolith * Analyze when and why you can benefit from microservices * Introduce the second service * Connect them together using Event Driven patterns and REST APIs * Understand the tools: why do we need things like Service Discovery, Load Balancing, Routing, Circuit Breaker patterns… * Include a good baseline of tests, and how you can do end to end tests with microservices easily (using Cucumber) You can find more information on the Youtube video and the book's webpage. The book is available on many platforms, including Google Play, Amazon and the Apress website.
