Stratospheric
Stratospheric
From Zero to Production with Spring Boot and AWS
About the Book
With Spring Boot being the leading framework for building applications in the JVM ecosystem and AWS the leading cloud platform, their combination is quite powerful.
This book will teach you everything you need to know to get your Spring Boot application running on AWS.
Throughout this book, we'll develop a web application that seamlessly integrates common AWS services such as SQS, S3, SNS, RDS, Cognito, and ECS using Spring Cloud AWS.
Not only will we focus on developing the application with Spring Boot but also take a detailed look at getting it ready for production. This includes a continuous deployment pipeline, infrastructure-as-code using CloudFormation and AWS CDK, deployment patterns, and monitoring.
The Stratospheric book will become your go-to resource for building production-ready applications with Spring Boot and AWS. It will prepare you for your next project in the cloud.
No previous AWS knowledge required.
Reader Testimonials
Espen Westgaard
CTO and CISO at Datek AS, Norway
Great book covering many best practices of modern cloud based infrastructure setup, application development and operations using Spring Boot and AWS. Regardless of whether you’re a novice or seasoned developer, I highly recommend this book
AbdulRahman elRawas
Software Engineer
This is an excellent book for every Spring Boot developer who wants to level up their knowledge and move their applications to the AWS cloud. I'm still halfway through the book, and it feels like someone is taking me by my hand into the AWS forest of services. The writers went just deep enough (and not too much) into each service they tackled and included practical exercises to follow along the way. That's giving confidence and instilling the learning naturally.
