The document outlines the essentials of microservices architecture, comparing it with monolithic architecture, and discusses the role of Spring Boot and Spring Cloud in building cloud-native Java applications. It covers aspects such as service discovery, API gateways, and containerization for efficient application deployment. Additionally, it highlights tools and practices for developing and managing microservices in cloud environments.

5. Monolithic Architecture

6. SOA - Service Oriented Architecture

7. Microservice Architecture
• Each team gets one database and one service
• Shared caches are platform provided services that are shared for consistency

12. Cloud Native & Microservices
• Microservices are only a small part of
a larger picture

16. Application Server Deployment - Monolith
• Load balancing requires provisioning
of new VMs and app server
installations
• Poor resource isolation; memory
leaks can cause other applications
to become unavailable
• Runtime environment is driven by
the operator
Virtual Machine
App
Linux Kernel
App App
Hardware Infrastructure

17. Linux Container Deployment - Microservice
• Development team drives the
application runtime of a container
• Containers are resource isolated,
allowing efficient scheduling onto a
grid of VMs
• Containers take seconds to start,
VMs take minutes
• It’s not a rule that there is one
microservice per container

18. Microservices - Container Deployment
• Each microservice can be containerized with their application dependencies
• Containers get scheduled on virtual machines with an allotted resource policy

19. Auto-scaling
• Minutes to start a VM, but seconds to start a container
• An elastic runtime handles auto-scaling of VMs with cloud providers

20. Orchestration
• Each microservice needs to communicate outside containers
• Service discovery provides an automatic method for finding other service dependencies

Spring Boot
A JVM micro-framework for building
microservices
22

23. What is Spring Boot?

24. spring boot
Spring Initializr for boostraping your applications
supports rapid development of
production-ready applications
and services

25. Spring Boot Roles

26. Automatic Configuration
• An application class is annotated with @SpringBootApplication
• Additional annotations are added to indicate the role of the Spring Boot application

30. What is Spring Cloud?
✴ Service Discovery
✴ API Gateway
✴ Config Server
✴ Circuit Breakers
✴ Distributed Tracing

31. What is Spring Cloud?
• Spring Cloud provides a way to turn Spring Boot microservices into distributed
applications

32. Service Discovery & Intelligent Routing

33. Client-side load balancing

34. Configuration Service

35. API Gateway

(REST APIs that self-describe)

40. REST API Gateway
• API gateway downloads routes from
services exposing REST APIs
• Each route of other microservices will be
hosted on the API gateway
• API gateway will automatically reverse
proxy to backend services
• Hypermedia allows traversing entire
REST API description of microservices

45. Push to Cloud Foundry
• http://run.pivotal.io
• Go to Spring Initializr, select Web
• Name the artifactId hello-world
• Add a @RestController named Hello
• Return “Hello World” at the root endpoint
• mvn clean install & cf push
