Transform raw requirements into scalable, resilient web applications with Spring, and build secure, high-performance systems from the ground up using expert guidance and best practicesKey FeaturesEstablish yourself as the go-to person for strategic decision-making and solutions design with proven strategiesWrite clean, modular, and testable code with the power of dependency injectionOptimize your development efforts by artfully connecting diverse use cases with the right Spring componentsPurchase of the print or Kindle book includes a free PDF eBookBook DescriptionSoftware system design goes beyond just writing code—it requires a structured approach to translating real-world requirements into scalable, maintainable solutions. With Rodrigo Santiago’s hands-on mentoring style and Java Spring expertise, he makes system design accessible to developers at all levels. Spring System Design in Practice guides you through building robust software architectures with Spring. From breaking down complex business needs into actionable use cases to implementing services using Spring Boot, this book equips you with the tools and best practices needed for developing secure, high-performance applications. You'll explore inter-service communication, security, and aspect-oriented programming to streamline development. Covering microservices architecture, the book demonstrates how to create self-configuring, resilient, and event-driven services that integrate seamlessly into the cloud. Through hands-on experience, you'll apply best practices to enhance reliability and scalability while tackling complex challenges such as state management, resilience patterns, concurrency issues, and distributed transactions—including bottlenecks related to asynchronous and reactive programming.By the end of this book, you'll have the confidence to analyze system requirements and design well-structured, scalable architectures.What you will learnImplement microservices for scalable, resilient web systemsBreak down business goals into well-structured product requirementsWeigh tradeoffs between writing asynchronous vs. synchronous services and SQL vs. NoSQL storageAccelerate service development and reliability through the adoption of test-driven developmentIdentify and eliminate hidden performance bottlenecks to maximize speed and efficiencyAchieve real-time processing and responsiveness in distributed environmentsWho this book is forIf you're an entry-level IT professional with junior to mid-level Java and Spring experience, this pragmatic guide will fast-track your journey to mastering the Spring ecosystem. Designed to accelerate your career path toward becoming a senior software engineer, system architect, technical lead, or aspiring CTO, it provides clear explanations of the Spring ecosystem and its intricate patterns.
