Learn how to access a microservice and build a reliable infrastructure using Spring Boot 2 and Spring Cloud with a proven actionable and hands-on approach
Learning new technology can be fast and fun. With this custom tailored learning plan you advance in building microservices with Spring Boot by actually building applications.
Together we build a tiny application using the microservice we created in "Spring Boot: How To Get Started and Build a Microservice" and expand the scenario with common patterns used in microservice environments for building a reliable fault tolerant infrastructure. You can follow along without having read the previous book.
You learn best by coding.
We use Spring Boot 2 with the Milestone 2.
What you will build:
We will write a simple client application for our microservice and improve it with each step to handling load balancing, failovers, service discovery and more.
What you will learn:
How to access a remote API with Spring's RestTemplate
How to do retries and fallbacks in case of API errors
How to add client side load balancing to it
