Microservices for Java Developers A Hands-On Introduction to Frameworks and Containers

by Christian Posta

Is microservice architecture right for your organization? These services have many benefits, but they also come with their own set of drawbacks. In this hands-on, example-driven guide, Java developers and architects will learn how to navigate popular application frameworks, such as Dropwizard and Spring Boot, and how to deploy and manage microservices at scale with Linux containers.

Adopting microservices requires much more than changes to your technology. Author Christian Posta—a Principal Middleware Specialist/Architect at Red Hat—also examines the organizational agility necessary to deliver these services. This concise book shows you how rapid feedback cycles, autonomous teams, and shared purpose are key to making microservices work.

- Understand why microservices require you to think differently about building, deploying, and operating cloud-native applications
- Dive into the popular Spring Boot, Dropwizard, and WildFly Swarm frameworks for designing microservices
- Use Docker and Kubernetes to deploy microservices, regardless of language
- Learn cluster management, failover, and load-balancing techniques for running microservices at scale

Christian Posta, a Principal Middleware Specialist/Architect at Red Hat, is a well-known blogger, speaker, open-source enthusiast, and committer on Apache ActiveMQ, Apache Camel, and other technologies. He’s worked with several large companies to help them create and deploy large-scale, distributed microservices-based architectures.

Es buen tutorial para introducirse a los microservicios, según Red Hat. Lo único malo es que la mayoría de los ejercicios ya están descontinuados; ya saben que en este campo todo avanza demasiado rápido.

Good entry-level tutorial to start with microservices.

The book for couple of evenings, but covers (ok not so deep) a few cutting-edge topics from java+microservices world

[Pramodh Nanjayya · Rating 4 out of 5]

A short introduction to microservices frameworks available in Java. I was able to cover it quickly as I was more interested in learning more about springboot approach and other approaches of applying microservices in Java. The book never disappointed. Gives what you want with the right dosage.

Nice, practical guide to get you started building your own microservices.

[Hussein Elsayed · Rating 5 out of 5]

A very nice book that touches and covers the most important concepts required to build/deploy/maintain microservices .. it also scratches the surface of many of the well known systems/frameworks/libraries which I personally like and had professional practical experience before and loved those sections covered them in this book ..

A special thanks to the author who really helped me refresh all the concepts I had learned in the past 2 years in only 5 days .. I wish I had this book 2 years ago, it would have saved me days and months of searching and too many try/error.
