Review of 'Spring Microservices in Action' on 'Goodreads'
4 stars
Great book to understand how to build microservices using Netflix OSS technologies through Spring Cloud. If you always wondered how to build a "Cloud Native" service in Java, this is the book. Unfortunately, this book won't be a 5-star due to the writing quality. There are too many holes in the code examples: the chapter about security barely works, you have to research by yourself. I don't advise this book for people that does not have experience with Spring framework.
To sum up, this book teaches many concepts that are required for a sane life dealing with microservices such as Service Discovery (Netflix Eureka), Load balance, Circuit-breakers & Bulkheads (Netflix Ribbon), API Gateway (Netflix Zuul), Log tracing, Distributed tracing (Zipkin), and others. On the other hand, it requires some prior experience on Spring framework from the reader.
