Spring Microservices in Action teaches you how to build microservice-based applications using Java and the Spring platform. About the Technology Microservices break up your code into small, distributed, and independent services that require careful forethought and design. Fortunately, Spring Boot and Spring Cloud simplify your microservice applications, just as the Spring Framework simplifies enterprise Java development. Spring Boot removes the boilerplate code involved with writing a REST-based service. Spring Cloud provides a suite of tools for the discovery, routing, and deployment of microservices to the enterprise and the cloud. About the book Spring Microservices in Action teaches you how to build microservice-based applications using Java and the Spring platform. You'll learn to do microservice design as you build and deploy your first Spring Cloud application. Throughout the book, carefully selected real-life examples expose microservice-based patterns for configuring, routing, scaling, and deploying your services. You'll see how Spring's intuitive tooling can help augment and refactor existing applications with micro services. What's Inside Core microservice design principles Managing configuration with Spring Cloud Config Client-side resiliency with Spring, Hystrix, and Ribbon Intelligent routing using Netflix Zuul Deploying Spring Cloud applications About the Reader This book is written for developers with Java and Spring experience.

Includes a short story by Michael Moorcock, titled 'Flux'. This eight top-line SF stories in this selection have been chosen by John Carnell from the best of year's contributions to New World's Science Fiction. They include Colin Knapp's Lambda 1, which reaches spine-chilling dimensions when a spacecraft, packed with a thousand passengers, loses it capacity to re-enter a normal environment. In Quest, by Lee Harding, an ordinary man look for 'something real' in a world dominated by robots and megapolitan madness. The atomic submarine Taurus, in Philip E. High's Routine Exercise, returns to base with two dead men, minus its nuclear warheads, and fantastic report of attack by an unknown craft. "This is", the editor wrote, "a cross-section of recently popular British science-fiction which has been well-liked by many thousands of readers in different countries of the world".

The story unfolds in Middle Terra Firma, a once-peaceful land filled with magical beings and idyllic landscapes. This tranquility is shattered by the arrival of The Dark Rider, a menacing creature who causes chaos while traversing the Black Highway in his formidable sixteen-wheeled dragon. The narrative explores the ensuing conflict and the impact of this dark force on the harmonious existence of the land's inhabitants.

This is a book about putting Java to work in the Oracle database. It concentrates on real-world applications that developers can put to immediate use in their day-to-day jobs and, in addition, gives in-depth consideration to the question of when it is appropriate to use Java from a performance perspective (including benchmarks). The examples in the book clearly distinguish between situations Java can provide functionality that PL/SQL cannot. We exploit Java's capabilities for accessing system resources outside the database - such as operating system commands and network sockets. We also make use of powerful Java Utilities for messaging and generating graphics. For example, we develop an application whereby a pie chart image is generated from a query, and then automatically distributed to interested parties (using JavaMail) Java can be used to smoothly complement the programming capability of PL/SQL. An example here would be the use of PL/SQL packages to handle complex data types and schedule tasks in the database, in conjunction with the file transfer (FTP) or compression capabilities of Java. The book is divided into four Section I is a fast-paced Java tutorial for PL/SQL programmersSection II covers database access with JDBC and SQLJ and shows how to smoothly and correctly convert between Java and native SQL data typesSection III is the real heart of the book, where what has been learned is applied to practical problem solving with Java and PL/SQLSection IV takes a detailed look at performance issues. Having considered Java application tuning and SQL tuning separately, we take a detailed look behind the scenes of Java database access and try to illustrate how you should choose between Java and PL/SQL for database operations
