Microservices Development with Java Spring Boot and Spring Cloud

As modern applications grow in complexity, the shift from monolithic structures to distributed microservices has become essential for building scalable and maintainable software. This course provides a clear, text-based path to mastering the architecture and tools required to develop robust backend systems using the Java ecosystem. You will gain a comprehensive understanding of how to decompose large applications into manageable services that communicate efficiently. The curriculum focuses on modern industry standards, ensuring you learn the most current libraries and patterns used in professional software engineering today. What you'll learn: - Understand the core differences between monolithic and microservice architectures. - Implement declarative service-to-service communication using OpenFeign and WebClient. - Configure service discovery and registration with Spring Cloud Eureka. - Manage routing and cross-cutting concerns through a centralized API Gateway. - Apply fault tolerance and resilience patterns using Resilience4j circuit breakers. - Centralize application settings across environments with Spring Cloud Config. - Practice load balancing techniques to ensure high availability and performance. The course begins with foundational definitions and architectural principles before progressing through the practical implementation of service communication, discovery, and system resilience. You will read through detailed explanations and analyze code snippets that demonstrate how these components work together in a production-like environment. This course is designed for Java developers and beginners who are new to distributed systems. No prior experience with microservices is required to start. Begin your journey into distributed systems architecture today.
