Building Scalable Java Microservices with Spring Boot and Spring Cloud on Google Cloud

Microservices describes a software design pattern in which an application is a collection of loosely coupled services. These services are fine-grained, and can be individually maintained and scaled. The microservices architecture is ideal for the public cloud, with its focus on elastic scaling with on-demand resources. Welcome to Building Scalable Java Microservices with Spring Boot and Spring Cloud! This course will help you integrate Google Cloud Platform services with your Java applications. In this course, you will learn how to build Java applications using Spring Boot and Spring Cloud on Google Cloud Platform. What are Spring Boot and Spring Cloud? The Spring Framework is an open-source application framework for Java. Spring Boot is a solution that makes it easier to build Spring Framework applications. Spring Boot adopts the 'convention over configuration' paradigm, which means that developers should only have to specify unusual aspects of the applications they build. Spring Boot autoconfigures as much as possible using sensible defaults. Spring Cloud makes Google Cloud Platform services available to Spring Framework applications. What to expect during this training course? During this training course, you will be presented with modules that will take you through skills you'll use as a Spring developer using GCP. Each module contains video lectures, and the Building the Demo Applicationmodule contains many hands-on labs. In order to get the best training experience, please ensure that you are prepared:- You must already know the Java programming language. You should have a general familiarity with Google Cloud Platform. You should also have familiarity with the kinds of business problems that companies typically build enterprise software to solve.
