Micro Frontends for Java Microservices - Devnexus 2024

You've figured out how to split up your backend services into microservices and scale your teams to the moon, right?

But what about the front end? Are you still building monoliths for your UI?

If so, you might want to check out micro frontends—basically extensions to the microservices pattern, where the concept is extended to the front end.

Find out how to package and deploy your microservices and their UIs in the same artifact and make it possible to test and develop them independently.

In this live session, Matt will show you how to build a microservices and micro frontends architecture using React, Spring Boot, and Spring Cloud.

7. Agenda A brief history of microservices Microservices with Java Microservices with JHipster Introduction to Micro Frontends Live Demo Action!
8. Microservices Visionaries
9. “Any organization that designs a system (defined broadly) will produce a design whose structure is a copy of the organization's communication structure.” Conway’s Law Melvin Conway 1967
11. “Do one thing and do it well.”
12. Microservices with Java
13. Spring History of Spring October 2002 - Rod Johnson writes J2EE Design & Development 2004 - Spring 1.0 2006 - Spring 2.0 with better XML 2009 - JavaConfig 2014 - Spring Boot 1.0 2015 - Spring Cloud 1.0 🍃
16. Spring WebFlux!
17. Spring MVC Code @PostMapping("/points") public ResponseEntity<Points> createPoints(@Valid @RequestBody Points points) throws URISyntaxException { log.debug("REST request to save Points : {}", points); if (points.getId() != null) { throw new BadRequestAlertException("A new points cannot already have an ID", ENTITY_NAME, "idexists"); } Points result = pointsRepository.save(points); pointsSearchRepository.save(result); return ResponseEntity .created(new URI("/api/points/" + result.getId())) .headers(HeaderUtil.createEntityCreationAlert( applicationName, true, ENTITY_NAME, result.getId().toString())) .body(result); }
18. Spring WebFlux Code @PostMapping("/points") public Mono<ResponseEntity<Points>> createPoints(@Valid @RequestBody Points points) throws URISyntaxException { log.debug("REST request to save Points : {}", points); if (points.getId() != null) { throw new BadRequestAlertException("A new points cannot already have an ID", ENTITY_NAME, "idexists"); } return pointsRepository .save(points) .flatMap(pointsSearchRepository::save) .map( result -> { try { return ResponseEntity .created(new URI("/api/points/" + result.getId())) .headers(HeaderUtil.createEntityCreationAlert( applicationName, true, ENTITY_NAME, result.getId().toString())) .body(result); } catch (URISyntaxException e) { throw new RuntimeException(e); } } ); }
