Microservices with Spring Boot and Spring Cloud

About this course

This specialization guides learners through building and deploying microservices using Spring Boot, Spring Cloud, and Kubernetes. The first course introduces core microservices concepts, Spring Boot fundamentals, cooperating service design, Docker deployment, API documentation with OpenAPI, persistence, and reactive microservices development. The second course advances skills with Spring Cloud, covering service discovery using Netflix Eureka, API security, edge server routing with Spring Cloud Gateway, centralized configuration, resilience enhancements with Resilience4j, and distributed tracing to monitor service health. The third course emphasizes cloud-native deployment and observability using Kubernetes. Learners deploy microservices, implement system simplifications, leverage a service mesh, configure centralized logging with the EFK stack, monitor services, and manage native compiled Java microservices across platforms. This structured progression ensures practical skills and applied outcomes across design, security, and operations. This fully updated fourth edition takes you through tried-and-tested approaches to build distributed systems and implementing microservices architecture, following a single real-world project from start to finish. This Specialization is based on the book Microservices with Spring Boot and Spring Cloud , by Magnus Larsson
