Spring Boot: How To Get Started and Build a Microservice

Rate this book
All feedback given in the reviews is integrated in the second edition.

Learning new technology can be fast and fun. With this custom tailored learning plan you get a head start and learn step by step to build microservices with Spring Boot by actually building one .

In a few hours, you have built your first microservice with Spring Boot and moved to a new level while other developers are still wading through hundreds of pages of a fluffy compendium telling them everything about Spring Boot and still leaving them back with no clue.

We build a real application ( less than 850 lines of code though) using a standard Maven project structure together, and I will explain you the steps and libraries involved on the go.

You learn best by coding. The way I love learning too.

What you will

We build a Microservice for storing comments and providing a REST Interface for interacting with the data. The sample application is modeled after a real production application to guide you through building your first Spring Boot application.
