Practical Microservices Architectural Patterns

Upgrade your distributed applications with microservices. This practical guide bridges core concepts and advanced patterns to help you build resilient, scalable and high performing microservices, whether you're transitioning from monolithic architectures or starting fresh with microservices. Fully updated for Spring Boot 3 and Spring Cloud, the Second Edition covers modern capabilities, like reactive programming, enhanced observability, advanced security and streamlined configuration management. Learn to solve common architectural challenges in cloud-native development, including service discovery, inter-service communication, distributed transactions, configuration management and fault tolerance mechanisms like retries, timeouts and circuit breakers. You’ll also implement real-world patterns using powerful frameworks like Axon for event sourcing and command handling, and Atomikos for managing distributed transactions with XA protocols. This book provides a hands-on introduction to building modern cloud-native applications from scratch, building up to in-depth discussions on advanced topics, such as CQRS and event-driven architecture.
