Patterns make development easier and code more maintainable. Therefore, we'll learn about a few more patterns and continue our development where we left off in Chapter 5, Microservice Patterns – Part 1, by implementing a few more microservice patterns. We'll add a few more patterns that are required to implement a successful microservice-based system. In this chapter, we'll learn about the API gateway pattern, circuit breakers, and centralized monitoring and their implementation using Spring Cloud.
In this chapter, we will cover the following topics:
- The overall architecture
- Edge servers and the API gateway
- Circuit breakers
- Centralized monitoring
We'll continue adding code from the previous chapter. You can copy the code from that chapter and start following this chapter, or, alternatively, refer to the code available...
