Spring Boot Microservices

With the advent of cloud computing & containerization, microservices have taken the world by storm. With Spring Boot, your microservices can start small and iterate fast. That's why it has become the de facto standard for Java™ microservices. Microservices allow large systems to be built up from a number of collaborating components. Microservices, in a nutshell, allows us to break our large system into a number of independent collaborating components.

• Each microservice has its own data model and manages its own data.
• Data moves between microservices using “dumb pipes” such as an event broker and/or a lightweight protocol like REST.
• Small scope that encompasses a single piece of business functionality
• Internal operations are a “black box”, accessible to external programs only via API
• Microservices are independently deployable and allow for more team autonomy
• Microservices are independently scalable.
• Microservices reduce downtime through fault isolation.
• The smaller codebase enables teams to more easily understand the code, making it simpler to maintain.
