Preface

Spring 5.0 is due to arrive with a myriad of new and exciting features that will change the way we've used the framework so far. This book will show you this evolution--from solving the problems of testable applications to building distributed applications on the Cloud.
The book begins with an insight into the new features in Spring 5.0, and shows you how to build an application using Spring MVC. You will then get a thorough understanding of how to build and extend microservices using the Spring Framework. You will also understand how to build and deploy Cloud applications. You will realize how application architectures have evolved from monoliths to those built around microservices. The advanced features of Spring Boot will also be covered and displayed through powerful examples.
By the end of this book, you will be equipped with the knowledge and best practices to develop applications with the Spring Framework.
