Spring Microservices in Action, Second Edition 2nd ed. Edition

Buena

Great book, but note font is very small

well explained documentation an easy to implement examples to fully understand microservices

I read previous edition from cover to cover I was curios was changed and if it too which extent it will be repeated. Good news that is not very repeated, it is I think rewritten from scratch and there is much more on Spring Cloud. I enjoyed for e.g. that authors explained relation between Spring Cloud release train and Spring Boot. The another big plus is that content is presented in very clean and informative way. Examples are clean to the point. There are some weak points in my opinion for e.g. HATEOAS approach in times of GraphQL seems to be a bit outdated. The same about REST everywhere, authors could put more emphasis that asynchronous communication should be more used than plain REST. However in next chapters Kafka and Redis is described which is again plus.Book describes all needed parts like external configuration, securing, deployment, resilience, kubernetes, ELK this is what modern applications needsAll in all whole book is definitely worth reading and worth to buy even if first edition is on your shelf.Thus this is very help full book, recommended!

The books has a good submission of information and coverage of the main spring cloud technologies.

Good content in the book. Enough general information to put together an application as a software programmer which would be fine, if the author had not tried to implement devOps operations, specifically in chapter 5. The Docker and Hashicorp Vault information is poorly explained and so deprecated that you could lose several weeks of time trying to figure out what's going on (if you're on a time constraint). This is my first book on the topic so I can't recommend any alternatives, but don't waste time trying to follow along with the devOps stuff ESPECIALLY IF YOU DON"T HAVE A TEACHER. Minus two stars because he uses Java 11 for this (?) and he fails to explain the devOps portion of the book but conveys it as instrumental (to the teaching) which it isn't.

This book gives an objective approach to microservices in Spring Universum with easy to follow examples and the best practice on resiliency, logging and authentication.
