  4. Spring Boot Microservices in Production
    Spring Boot Microservices in Production
    A comprehensive guide to building, deploying, and scaling resilient distributed systems with Spring Boot and Spring Cloud
    Enrique Medina Montenegro

    Build bulletproof Spring Boot microservices—from monolith migration to domain-driven design and event-driven patterns—while mastering the production essentials of resilience, observability, and zero‑downtime delivery. Turn complex domains into clean, scalable services with bounded contexts, aggregates, repositories, and domain events, then ship faster with rate‑limited APIs, backoff‑retries, and Kubernetes rollouts. If leading Java teams to reliable, cloud‑ready microservices is the goal, this is the hands‑on guide that gets systems into production with confidence.

  5. Design and Reality
