Book Description

Do you want to build and deploy microservices but are unsure where to begin? Check out the fully updated 2025 edition of Microservices with Spring Boot and Spring Cloud. Drawing from Magnus’ decades of experience, you’ll start with simple microservices and progress to complex distributed applications, learning essential functionality and deploying microservices using Kubernetes and Istio along the way. This book covers Java 24, Spring Boot 3.5, and Spring Cloud 2025, featuring updated code examples and replacing deprecated APIs. You’ll get a clear understanding of Spring’s Ahead of Time (AOT) module, observability, distributed tracing, and Helm for Kubernetes packaging. The chapters show you how to use Docker Compose to run microservices with databases and messaging services and deploy microservices on Kubernetes with Istio. You’ll also explore persistence, resilience, reactive microservices, and API documentation with OpenAPI, as well as learn service discovery with Netflix Eureka, edge servers with Spring Cloud Gateway, and monitoring with Prometheus, Grafana, and the EFK stack. By the end of this book, you’ll be able to confidently build scalable microservices using Spring Boot and Spring Cloud.
