About the Book
This book is a practical guide for developers eager to build, deploy, and scale Java applications in the cloud-native age. Instead of overwhelming you with theory, it takes a hands-on approach, showing you how to run your first Spring Boot and Quarkus apps on Kubernetes without writing a single line of YAML or Dockerfile.
From setting up a local Kubernetes environment to mastering best practices, security, scalability, and service mesh, you’ll learn how to leverage frameworks and tools like Quarkus, Spring Boot, Prometheus, Istio, Tekton, and Argo CD. Each chapter includes runnable examples in a GitHub repository, making it easy to follow along.
Whether you’re a Java developer new to Kubernetes or an experienced engineer looking to modernize applications, this book offers step-by-step guidance to help you navigate the cloud-native ecosystem and confidently deliver production-ready applications.
