This practical guide sets out to show Java/JVM developers how to build better software, faster, using Spring Boot, Spring Cloud, and Cloud Foundry. Authors Josh Long and Kenny Bastani cover the tools and methodologies that will help you transform your legacy application into one that is cloud native, in other words ones that use cloud computing, are based on test-driven development and continuous integration and are released in small batches as microservices to reduce the scope of change and the cost of change.

• The Basics: learn the motivations behind cloud native thinking; configure and test a Spring Boot application; and move your legacy application to the cloud
• Web Services: build HTTP and RESTful services with Spring; route requests in your distributed system; and build edge services closer to the data
• Data Integration: manage your data with Spring Data, and integrate distributed services with Spring’s support for event-driven, messaging-centric architectures
• Production: make your system observable; use service brokers to connect stateful services; and understand the big ideas behind continuous delivery
