Developing a production-grade Spring-based microservices ecosystem requires careful consideration of various factors, including coding standards, architectural components, and essential frameworks and libraries.
- Maven
- JDK 17
- Spring boot 3.1.0
- Spring Cloud Gateway Server
- Spring Cloud Config Server
- Spring Cloud Eureka Server
- Spring Data JPA
- QueryDsl
- Specification-Arg-Resolver
- Lombok
- MapStruct
- Spring security will be added soon
-
Maven: Uses Maven Wrapper
-
Java 17: includes Open JDK 17
-
Spring Boot 3: provides an opinionated approach to building microservices. It simplifies the configuration and deployment process, autoconfigures various components, and includes built-in support for creating RESTful APIs. Ensure that you use the latest version of Spring Boot and keep track of any updates or new features introduced.
-
Gateway Server: Use a gateway, such as Spring Cloud Gateway or Netflix Zuul, to handle API routing, load balancing, and security.
-
Config Server: Employ a centralized configuration server, like Spring Cloud Config, to manage configurations for microservices.
-
Eureka Server: Service Registry: Utilize a service registry, such as Netflix Eureka to enable service discovery and registration.
-
Spring Data JPA: Spring Data JPA is a part of the Spring Data project, which provides a high-level abstraction for working with databases in Java applications. It simplifies the development of data access layers by reducing boilerplate code and providing convenient APIs.
-
QueryDsl: QueryDsl is a Java library that provides a type-safe and fluent API for constructing database queries. It helps avoid writing raw SQL queries and provides compile-time validation of queries. Integrate QueryDsl into project to enhance query construction and reduce potential errors.
-
Specification-Arg-Resolver: Specification-Arg-Resolver is a library that simplifies the creation of dynamic queries in Spring Data JPA using Specification objects. It allows constructing complex queries based on provided criteria. By using Specification-Arg-Resolver to build dynamic and flexible queries within microservices ecosystem.
-
Lombok: Lombok is a library that eliminates boilerplate code by providing annotations to generate getter/setter methods, constructors, equals/hashCode methods, and more. It helps reduce code verbosity and improves developer productivity. Incorporate Lombok into project to simplify the codebase.
-
MapStruct: MapStruct is a code generation library for mapping Java bean properties between different classes. It eliminates the need for writing repetitive mapping code manually. MapStruct generates efficient, type-safe mapping code based on annotations and conventions. Using MapStruct to simplify object mapping in microservices.
