Publisher's Synopsis
Learn to build a resilient microservice infrastructure using proven patterns with Spring Boot 2 and Spring CloudResilience and fault tolerance are a must, or your system will fall apart.
Our guides give you brief lessons on a single topic to get you started in no time. We leave the fluff out so you can focus and learn better and fast
In this guide, we will build a tiny web application using the microservice we created in "Spring Boot: How To Get Started and Build a Microservice" and expand the scenario with common microservice patterns for building a reliable fault-tolerant infrastructure. You can follow along without having read the previous book.
You learn best by coding. The way I love learning too.
We use Spring Boot 2 with the Milestone 2.
What you will build:
We will write a simple web client application for our microservice and improve it with each step to handling load balancing, failovers, service discovery and more. In each stage, we implement one pattern and discuss its advantages and disadvantages.
At the end of the book, you will have an understanding of what the patterns solve and how to implement them in Spring Boot.
What you will learn:- How to access a remote API with Spring's RestTemplate
