Learning Spring Boot 2.0 - Second Edition

Greg has worked since 1997 as a software engineer at Harris Corporation, always seeking the right tool for the job. Since 2002, Greg has been part of the senior software team working on Harris' $3.5 billion FAA telco program, architecting mission-critical enterprise apps while managing a software team. He provides after hours support and 2nd-level engineering to support the nation-wide telco network and is no stranger to midnight failures and software triage. In 2010, Greg joined the SpringSource division of VMware.Being a test-bitten script junky, Greg has used JUnit, TestNG, JMock, FEST, PyUnit, and pMock testing frameworks, along with other agile practices to produce top-quality code.He has worked with Java, Spring, Spring Security, AspectJ, and Jython technologies and also developed sophisticated scripts for *nix and Windows platforms. Being a wiki evangelist, he also deployed a LAMP-based wiki website to provide finger-tip knowledge to users.In 2006, Greg created the Spring Python project. The Spring Framework provided many useful features, and he wanted those same features available when working with Python.Greg completed a master's degree in Computer Engineering at Auburn University, and lives in the United States with his family.

Use Spring Boot to build lightning-fast apps

Key Features:Get up to date with the defining characteristics of Spring Boot 2.0 in Spring Framework 5
Learn to perform Reactive programming with SpringBoot
Learn about developer tools, AMQP messaging, WebSockets, security, MongoDB data access, REST, and more




Book Description:
Spring Boot provides a variety of features that address today's business needs along with today's scalable requirements. In this book, you will learn how to leverage powerful databases and Spring Boot's state-of-the-art WebFlux framework. This practical guide will help you get up and running with all the latest features of Spring Boot, especially the new Reactor-based toolkit.


The book starts off by helping you build a simple app, then shows you how to bundle and deploy it to the cloud. From here, we take you through reactive programming, showing you how to interact with controllers and templates and handle data access. Once you're done, you can start writing unit tests, slice tests, embedded container tests, and even autoconfiguration tests.


We go into detail about developer tools, AMQP messaging, WebSockets, security, and deployment. You will learn how to secure your application using both routes and method-based rules. By the end of the book, you'll have built a social media platform from which to apply the lessons you have learned to any problem. If you want a good understanding of building scalable applications using the core functionality of Spring Boot, this is the book for you.


What You Will Learn:Create powerful, production-grade applications and services with minimal fuss
Support multiple environments with one artifact, and add production-grade support with features
Find out how to tweak your apps through different properties
Use custom metrics to track the number of messages published and consumed
Enhance the security model of your apps
Make use of reactive programming in Spring Boot
Build anything from lightweight unit tests to fully running embedded web container integration tests
