Spring makes it easier than ever to build modern, cloud native applications without getting caught up in the weeds. This workshop focuses on the latest additions to the Spring stack (Spring Boot and Spring Cloud) as well as the latest releases of foundation projects Spring, Spring Data, Spring Security. Starting from nothing, we will develop a model system with plenty of moving parts, but the minimum amount of code needed to solve the business problem at hand.

We will see how to implement all the important patterns in modern applications with microservice architectures: single page application, hypermedia, service discovery, central configuration, circuit breakers, control bus, event stream, single sign on, API gateway.

Microservices need to be loosely coupled, and we know that messaging good for that, so why are there so many services communicating exclusively over HTTP? In this session we look at how to turn the tables and use messaging where it is appropriate with the minimum possible fuss using Spring Cloud Stream. While developing a sample application, you'll also see it deployed as part of a larger distributed system using Spring Cloud Data Flow (the new manifestation of Spring XD), which unifies streaming and batch operations. You'll learn about this new Spring Cloud project and how simple it is to build event driven and streaming applications.
