一步步掌握 Spring Boot 的用法， 建立 Java 後端工程師必備的技術能力！ 【書籍簡介】 本書內容改編自第 15 屆 iThome 鐵人賽 Software Development 組的優選系列文章《Spring Boot 零基礎入門》。在現今 Java 的工作中，Spring Boot 這項技術已經是不可或缺的一部分，打開各大徵才網一看，大部分的 Java 工程師職缺都會要求求職者有使用過 Spring Boot 的經驗，甚至已經到了「不會 Spring、不談就業」的程度，因此學習 Spring Boot 已經是成為 Java 工程師的必備條件。 但是 Spring Boot 中所包含的技術非常多，對於剛入門的人來說，要從哪裡開始學起會是一個大問題，並且網路上的資料比較零碎，用東拼西湊的學習方式，也很難能夠真正的了解 Spring Boot 中的特性。 因此本書的目標在於幫助沒接觸過（甚至沒聽過）Spring Boot 的人，了解 Spring Boot 到底是什麼，並且能夠運用 Spring Boot 搭建一個簡易的後端系統。如果你打從心底想要從頭開始學習Spring Boot、或是你想了解業界目前最流行的 Spring Boot 的用法，那就跟著這本書一起，從零開始入門 Spring Boot 吧！ 【目標讀者】 ❏ 想學習 Spring Boot，但不知道從何入門 ❏ 看過 Spring Boot 的相關介紹，但不了解實際要如何運用 【閱讀完本書之後，你可以學到】 ❏ 了解什麼是 Spring Boot，以及如何運用 IntelliJ 這套軟體開發 Spring Boot 程式 ❏ 了解 Spring 框架的兩大特性 - IoC 和 AOP ❏ 了解 Spring MVC、Spring JDBC 的基本用法 ❏ 能夠運用 Spring Boot，實作出一個簡易的後端系統 【閱讀本書前，需具備的前置知識】 閱讀本書前，必須具備「Java 程式語言」和「MySQL 資料庫設計」的知識。 其中 Java 需要了解基本 Java 的語法，並且至少要知道「多型（polymorphism）」的概念，而 MySQL 則需要了解基本的 SQL 語法（Select、Update、Insert、Delete）的用法。 另外 Mac / Windows 皆可閱讀本書

內容簡介:微服務當道！一次掌握微服務架構與優勢！數位轉型浪潮席捲而來，創新科技衝擊全球市場！由於雲端服務可隨需求調整的彈性，迅速成為企業降低營運成本的首選，也讓微服務(Microservices)成為這波趨勢的浪頭！相較於傳統的單體(Monolithic)系統，微服務規模小而且可獨立部署，具備高彈性、精確擴充、可個別更新、一定程度的錯誤隔離避免系統崩潰等特性，且讓組織可以針對單一服務組建以敏捷方式運作的團隊，幫助企業快速應對市場變化。容器(Container)技術如Docker的成熟，也讓微服務架構得以快速推展。容器是資源控制且可攜式作業環境，沒有作業系統的龐大複雜，比傳統的虛擬機器來得更小更輕量。將微服務放置在各個容器，即可打造獨立自主的執行環境，減少不必要的資源浪費並加快啟動速度。本書首先介紹單體與微服務架構的差別，同時介紹建構微服務時用於解決問題的諸多設計模式，包含核心模式、路由模式、用戶端彈性模式、安全模式、日誌紀錄和追踪模式等。其次簡述實作微服務專案必要的容器技術，包含Docker、Dockerfile、Docker Compose與Maven對Docker的整合。最後以Spring Cloud家族的生態系統，如Spring Boot、Spring Cloud Config、Spring Cloud Gateway、Spring Cloud Stream、Spring Cloud LoadBalancer、Spring Cloud Security、Spring Cloud Sleuth等，搭配坊間熱門開源專案，如Netflix Eureka、Resilience4j、Kafka、Zookeeper、Redis、ELK Stack、Zipkin、Keycloak等，詮釋微服務設計模式的實務應用。本書適合具備Java實務、對微服務架構和Spring Cloud開發有興趣的讀者閱讀。
