With over 75 million downloads per month, Spring Boot is the most widely used Java framework available. Its ease and power have revolutionized application development from monoliths to microservices. Yet Spring Boot's simplicity can also be confounding. How do developers learn enough to be productive immediately? This practical book shows you how to use this framework to write successful mission-critical applications.

Mark Heckler from VMware, the company behind Spring, guides you through Spring Boot's architecture and approach, covering topics such as debugging, testing, and deployment. If you want to develop cloud native Java or Kotlin applications with Spring Boot rapidly and effectively (using reactive programming, building APIs, and creating database access of all kinds) this book is for you.

Learn how Spring Boot simplifies cloud native application development and deployment
Build reactive applications and extend communication across the network boundary to create distributed systems
Understand how Spring Boot's architecture and approach increase developer productivity and application portability
Deploy Spring Boot applications for production workloads rapidly and reliably
Monitor application and system health for optimal performance and reliability
Debug, test, and secure cloud-based applications painlessly

From the Publisher

Spring Boot, Cloud Native Kotlin applications

From the Preface

Welcome to Spring Boot: Up and Running. I’m glad you’re here.

There are other Spring Boot books available today. Good books, written by good people. But every author makes decisions on what to include in their material, what to exclude, how to present what makes the cut, and so many more decisions large and small that make their book unique. What feels like optional material to one author may seem absolutely essential to another. We’re all developers, and like all developers, we have opinions.

My opinion was that there were some missing pieces, things I felt were either necessary or just incredibly helpful to share with devs new to Spring Boot. This list of missing pieces has grown as I interact with more and more developers around the world, at various stages in their Spring Boot journey. We’re all learning different things at different times in different ways. Thus this book.

If you’re new to Spring Boot, or if you feel it would be useful to strengthen your knowledge of the fundamentals — and let’s face it, when is it not useful to do that? — this book was written with you in mind. It is a gentle introduction that covers the key capabilities of Spring Boot while advancing into useful application of those capabilities in the real world.

Thank you for joining me on this journey.

Readable, but idiosyncratic, uninstructive, and non-reproducible

Reviewed in the United States on March 10, 2022

Verified Purchase

The book has a decent, conversational writing voice that is easy to follow, but the I found the material to be uninstructive and idiosyncratic. The book basically has two kinds of instructional moves:

1. Hey, check out this branch from my repo and look at this code I wrote
2. Here are a bunch of random messaging and database products that we can integrate into our application that I'll just blow through in 5 secs each

I don't find this style to be very effective for learning. A style focused more on either exercises or concept fundamentals would have been far more useful, and in the end I feel left with a bunch of examples based off the author's hobby projects that were probably easier for the author to cobble together, but which aren't that helpful to review in terms of learning about Spring Boot.

As such, the book is probably best used as an overview of some concepts and technologies you may want to be familiar with if you want to work with Spring Boot, rather than as a resource that will teach you how to be competent with Spring Boot.

I had trouble with local Maven configuration issues -- this book definitely isn't aimed at people who are pretty new to Java or Kotlin, which makes sense given the subject matter, but it's important to be aware that there's not a super ton of hand-holding on your java + IDE + build setup (and any issues or version-related discrepancies you may encounter there), so make sure you're comfortable with all that before diving in.

Not really a great presentation...

Reviewed in the United States on August 11, 2021

The author spends time to explain why do you need a main function in your Java program and explicitly pastes the error message if you don't have the main function, he also explains that how to use one constructor to call another constructor while instantiating a class, and what setters and getters are.

Yet, he assumes that in advance you have to know Java annotations, especially annotations in Spring framework, MVC, Spring Inversion of Control, or what a Spring Bean is before reading this book...

Please, try to challenge yourself to break some hard concepts...

This books contains good explanations on different spring packages, some tips, highlights, things to avoid, it’s easy to read and understand, you’ll find the baseline code on each chapter and the final implementation as well.

Unübersichtlich und verworren

Reviewed in Germany on April 3, 2021

Verified Purchase

Nimmt man das erste Kapitel mal aus, sind alle Referenzen auf die Codebeispiele verworren und auf Github kaum wiederzufinden. Die Klassen haben unterschiedliche Nahmen und es ist so gut wie unmöglich, die Beispiele zu verfolgen. Die Flugdaten, die hier als Beispiel dienen, können nicht abgerufen werden und damit reduziert es sich auf die drei Default Datensätze. Nach dem Kapitel MVC habe ich dann aufgehört. Man spürt dem Buch eine Menge verstecktes Know-How an, aber die Struktur war für meinen Geschmack alles andere als optimal.
