Master containerization with Docker by packaging dependencies like JDK and curl with your Spring Boot app into a portable container for consistent environments, isolation, and easy deployment to Kubernetes.
Migrate a Postgres database with Flyway alongside a JPA-powered invoice service, insert dummy data, and expose APIs via Spring Boot, while understanding Flyway naming and created times for enterprise migrations.
Build a spring boot user service, enable rest calls to the invoice service with openfeign, and set up flyway migrations and a user_db with a user table and a foreign key.
This comprehensive course takes you through the entire process of building enterprise-grade microservices from the ground up, using modern technologies and best practices.
Throughout this course, you’ll work on a hands-on project that incorporates real-world scenarios to help you gain practical experience with the following:
Framework & APIs: Learn to build microservices using Spring Boot for fast and efficient application development, and manage API calls using Open Feign Client for seamless communication between services.
Database Integration: Use JPA to handle data persistence and Flyway for smooth database migrations, ensuring consistent and reliable database management.
Logging and Monitoring: Implement centralized logging with the ELK Stack (Elasticsearch, Logstash, and Kibana), and track your microservices’ performance with Micrometer, Prometheus, and Grafana.
Distributed Tracing and Reliability: Ensure robust monitoring with distributed tracing using the ELK Stack and APM Server to track performance across distributed systems, and use Bulkhead and Circuit Breaker patterns in your API Gateway to enhance reliability. Implement retry strategies with Open Feign and Spring Retry for Kafka.
Exception Handling and Performance: Master exception handling with Spring Boot, and improve performance by implementing caching with Spring Boot Caching.
Containerization and Deployment: Containerize your microservices with Docker and Dockerfiles, and deploy them efficiently using Docker Compose.
API Specification and Event-Driven Architecture: Define robust API specifications with OpenAPI (Swagger) and build event-driven microservices using Kafka.
