Enterprise Java Microservices is an example-rich tutorial that shows how to design and manage large-scale Java applications as a collection of microservices.
Large applications are easier to develop and maintain when you build them from small, simple components. Java developers now enjoy a wide range of tools that support microservices application development, including right-sized app servers, open source frameworks, and well-defined patterns. Best of all, you can build microservices applications using your existing Java skills.
Enterprise Java Microservices teaches you to design and build JVM-based microservices applications. You’ll start by learning how microservices designs compare to traditional Java EE applications. Always practical, author Ken Finnigan introduces big-picture concepts along with the tools and techniques you’ll need to implement them. You’ll discover ecosystem components like Netflix Hystrix for fault tolerance and master the Just enough Application Server (JeAS) approach. To ensure smooth operations, you’ll also examine monitoring, security, testing, and deploying to the cloud.
Frameworks, patterns, and concepts that Java developers need to be successful in a microservices world.
A complete overview of how to implement microservices in a company environment, with different solutions to the same problem given and explained.
Covers everything a developer must know before stepping from monolith to microservices architecture.
A great guide through the world of Java enterprise microservices with cool use cases and code examples.
Even though the author is engaged with Thorntail, the coverage is very fair in looking at options, such as, Spring Boot, Dropwizard, etc.
Each chapter includes Maven-based example code that actually works! The code could feasibly be used as a foundation for a real microservices project. The chapters on testing and security further enhance the value of the book.
Maybe one nice-to-have would be some coverage on API gateways and routing. Ditto regarding microservices monitoring (maybe Prometheus and Grafana).
The migration model options discussed were very useful as well.
An excellent book all in all!”
