Build microservices-based enterprise applications with the latest version of Java EE

Key FeaturesCreate microservices in Spring and deploy them with Docker and Mesos Examine a number of real-world use cases and hands-on code examplesDevelop distributed applications based on microservices architectureBook Description

Cloud-based applications have been increasingly in demand, and this has caused a shift from monolithic to microservice applications. With the help of Java EE 8 Microservices, you‘ll get to grips with the components of Java EE 8 and understand how they are used to implement microservices. This book explains how a monolithic application is transformed into a microservice application, then helps you connect it in a traditional way and use advanced approaches for asynchronous communication. Once you have learned the basics, you’ll explore advanced topics to make your microservices robust, scalable, and secure. Microservices form distributed applications, and by the end of this book you’ll have discovered how to develop, pack, ship, and support distributed applications using Java EE.

What you will learnBuild microservices from the ground up with Java EE 8Implement and deploy microservices with Spring BootDevelop reactive pipelines for asynchronous communicationUse caching mechanisms and JSON Web Token (JWT) to create scalable and secure microservicesEmpower microservices with the Micro Profile effort and implement health checks, fault tolerance, and monitoring mechanismsUse containers to build and deploy microservicesCreate contract-first documentation with Swagger and API BlueprintWho this book is for

Java EE 8 Microservices is for Java EE developers keen to build microservice-based enterprise applications.
