In MicroServices using Spring Boot & Spring Cloud – Part 1 : Overview, we took a brief look at what are micro-services and how we can use SpringBoot and SpringCloud to build micro-services.

In this post, we are going to learn:

• What is the need for Spring Cloud Config and Vault?
• Create our first micro-service: catalog-service
• Create Spring Cloud Config Server
• Using Vault for storing sensitive data

Nowadays MicroServices is the hot buzzword in software development and many organizations prefer building their enterprise applications using MicroServices architecture. In Java community, SpringBoot is the most widely used framework for building both monoliths and microservices. I am planning to write a series of articles covering how to build microservices using SpringBoot and SpringCloud.

SpringBoot is the most popular and widely used Java framework. Occasionally this discussion of “Why is SpringBoot so popular?” come between me and my friends/colleagues. Also, I do get emails from various people asking “Spring is huge and how to learn it quickly?”. In this post, I will try to answer these 2 questions.

RabbitMQ is one of the popular message broker solutions and provides client libraries to be used from various programming languages including Java, Scala, .NET, Go, Python, Ruby, PHP etc. In this tutorial, we will learn how to use RabbitMQ message broker to send and receive messages from a SpringBoot application. We will also look at how to send messages as JSON payloads and how to deal with errors using Dead Letter Queues (DLQ).

In web applications, user session management is very crucial for managing user state. In this article, we are going to learn about what are the approaches we have been following to manage user sessions in a clustered environment and how we can use Spring Session to implement it in a much simpler and more scalable way.

In this article we are going to learn how we can use Travis CI for Continuous Integration and Continuous Deployment (CI/CD) of a SpringBoot application. We will learn how to run maven build goals, perform test coverage validation using JaCoCo plugin, Code Quality checks using SonarCloud, build Docker image and push it to DockerHub and finally deploy it to Heroku.
