It delivers new options for testing, deployment, Docker support, and native images for GraalVM, along with ways to squeeze out more efficient usage of existing resources.This third edition of the bestseller starts off by helping you build a simple app, and then shows you how to secure, test, bundle, and deploy it to production. Next, you'll familiarize yourself with the ability to go “native” and release using GraalVM. As you advance, you'll explore reactive programming and get a taste of scalable web controllers and data operations. The book goes into detail about GraalVM native images and deployment, teaching you how to secure your application using both routes and method-based rules and enabling you to apply the lessons you've learned to any problem. If you want to gain a thorough understanding of building robust applications using the core functionality of Spring Boot, then this is the book for you.By the end of this Spring Boot book, you'll be able to build an entire suite of web applications using Spring Boot and deploy them to any platform you need.What you will learnCreate powerful, production-grade web applications with minimal fussSupport multiple environments with one artifact, and add production-grade support with featuresFind out how to tweak your Java apps through different propertiesEnhance the security model of your appsMake use of enhancing features such as native deployment and reactive programming in Spring BootBuild anything from lightweight unit tests to fully running embedded web container integration testsGet a glimpse of reactive programming and decide if it's the right approach for youWho this book is forThis book is for both novices and experienced Spring developers looking to learn how to build applications without wasting time on infrastructure and other tedious details. Working knowledge of the Java programming language is assumed.

With over 75 million downloads per month, Spring Boot is the most widely used Java framework available. Its ease and power have revolutionized application development from monoliths to microservices. Yet Spring Boot's simplicity can also be confounding. How do developers learn enough to be productive immediately? This practical book shows you how to use this framework to write successful mission-critical applications. Mark Heckler from VMware, the company behind Spring, guides you through Spring Boot's architecture and approach, covering topics such as debugging, testing, and deployment. If you want to develop cloud native Java or Kotlin applications with Spring Boot rapidly and effectively (using reactive programming, building APIs, and creating database access of all kinds) this book is for you. Learn how Spring Boot simplifies cloud native application development and deployment Build reactive applications and extend communication across the network boundary to create distributed systems Understand how Spring Boot's architecture and approach increase developer productivity and application portability Deploy Spring Boot applications for production workloads rapidly and reliably Monitor application and system health for optimal performance and reliability Debug, test, and secure cloud-based applications painlessly
