Microservices using Spring Boot
We have a hefty amount of information about Spring Boot now from the previous sections. With the information that we have so far, we are now in a position to build microservices using Spring Boot. Before jumping into the implementation of our first microservice with Spring Boot, to proceed with implementing the first microservice, it is assumed that you know basic information about microservices, including the issues with monoliths, what microservices are, and the features microservices bring to the table.
First microservice with Spring Boot
The following are the details of the microservice that we are going to develop:
- We will implement an accounting service as a microservice.
- The microservice will be REST-based. It is an architectural pattern for developing web services. It focuses on identifying each resource in the application with a unique URL.
- We will identify the Spring Boot starter project that we will need and generate the Maven
pom.xml
file accordingly...
