Building "Bootiful" Microservices with Spring Cloud

Microservices? A thing? Or hype? What does it mean in practice? The answer, like so many Facebook statuses, is complicated. In broad strokes, Microservices (http://microservices.io/patterns/microservices.html) offer a refreshed approach to application architecture. Microservices are a new way to describe many of the patterns that have fallen out of large-scale applications in practice over the recent years. There is no doubt that the approach works. The question is: how does one build a microservices architecture? Join Spring Developer Advocate Josh Long for this look at Spring Cloud, which builds on Spring Boot and integrates the Netflix OSS stack, as an ideal way to build microservices.

Josh Long is the Spring Developer Advocate. Josh is the lead author on Apress’ Spring Recipes, 2nd Edition, the O'Reilly "ProSpring Roo" book, the Pearson "Live lessons for Spring" and a committer on several Spring projects and the Activiti BPMN framework. When he’s not hacking on code, he can be found at the local Java User Group or at the local coffee shop. Josh likes solutions that push the boundaries of the technologies that enable them. Josh's interests include microservices, cloud-computing, big-data, mobile, REST, NoSQL and integration. He tweets (http://twitter.com/starbuxman), blogs on the Spring blog (http://spring.io/blog) and on his personal blog (http://joshlong.com).
