Book Description

Keep up with the fast-paced tech landscape with Software Architecture with Spring, your practical guide to making strategic architectural decisions that align seamlessly with your business objectives.

Drawing from Wanderson's decades of experience, you'll journey through the complete software development lifecycle—from initial requirements gathering, through development and testing, to production deployment. You'll get hands-on with the evolution of an auction system, exploring its transformation through multiple architectural styles. You’ll discover how you can effectively transform a monolithic system into microservices using proven patterns and practices.

As you progress, you’ll master advanced architectural paradigms such as Event-Driven Architecture, Filter-and-Pipeline Architecture, and Serverless Architecture.

What you will learn

• Translate complex business needs into clear and implementable design
• Design resilient systems with common architectural styles
• Transform monolithic applications into microservices following best practices
• Implement event-driven architecture with Kafka
• Monitor, trace, and ensure robust testing, security, and performance
• Identify bottlenecks and optimize performance using patterns, caching, and database strategies
• Automate development workflows with CI/CD pipelines, using Jenkins to deploy the application to Kubernetes

Who this book is for

This book is for Java engineers transitioning to software architecture roles and architects seeking deeper insight into Spring-based architectural styles. Mid-level Spring Boot developers will be able to master architecture principles to build scalable, maintainable applications with the help of practical guidance on using modern architectural patterns.

To get the most out of this book, being proficient in Java with an object-oriented programming background, and having a solid understanding of the Spring Framework is essential. It would help to have a basic knowledge of Git and Maven, as well as databases, Docker, and Docker Compose.
