ContinueDocker Compose – Dockerizing Spring Boot Microservices MySQL App
Introduction Here I am going to show you how to use docker compose for dockerizing Spring Boot Microservices MySQL app. Docker Compose is a tool for defining and running multi-container Docker applications. With Compose, you use a YAML file to configure your application’s services. Then, with a single command, you create and start all the services from your configuration. You know that it is a best practice for a container to have only one process with single responsibility. But as I am going to dockerize Spring Boot Microservices app and MySQL…
ContinueHow to Trace Microservices Logs with Spring Cloud Sleuth and Zipkin
Introduction Here I am going to explain how to trace Spring Boot Microservices logs with Spring Cloud Sleuth and Zipkin Server. Spring Cloud Sleuth provides Spring Boot auto-configuration for distributed tracing. One of the problems most developers face difficulty of tracing logs as your microservices applications grow and requests propagate from one microservice to another microservice. So it could be quite part to try to figure out how a particular request travels through the application when you don’t have any idea regarding the implementation of microservices you are calling.

ContinueSpring Asynchronous Request Processing via DeferredResult Class
Introduction I am going to discuss here how to perform asynchronous request processing via Spring’s DeferredResult class. A DeferredResult can be used when the application wants to produce the return value from a thread of its own choice. A DeferredResult is what is possibly not-yet-finished computation that will be available in future. Spring MVC 3.2 introduced a Servlet 3 based asynchronous request processing. Normally once request processing is finished, you leave the controller handler method, but it is not the same case with DeferredResult. Spring MVC will hold on with…
