Reading Time: 16 minutes

Free White Paper

Microservices, as an architectural approach, has shown a great deal of benefit over the legacy style of monolithic single applications. Nevertheless, microservices are not without their drawbacks. The purpose of this white paper is to show how Spring Boot and Hazelcast IMDG® contribute to the microservices landscape, enhancing the benefits and alleviating some of the common downsides.

Microservices - Horizontally striped data silos
Hazelcast IMDG microservice processes are easily wrapped by Spring Boot for simple deployment, monitoring, and scaling.

Who should read it?

This paper is intended for software architects who are planning a Microservices deployment and want to understand all the critical infrastructure requirements.

What’s covered

  • What is Spring Boot?
  • What is Microservices?
  • What is Hazelcast IMDG and Why Microservices?
  • Spring Boot and Hazelcast IMDG
  • Advantages of Microservices
  • Six Benefits: Sharing, Asynchronicity, Security, Simplicity, Evolution, Health
  • Benefit 1: Sharing – using memory storage for speed, but distributing for scaling and resilience
  • Benefit 2: Asynchronous Communications – inter-process communications with loose coupling and fault tolerance
  • Benefit 3: Security – Spring Boot providing easy set-up to a widely used and solid security implementation.
  • Benefit 4: Simplicity – efficiently building a standalone Java module with Spring Boot
  • Benefit 5: Evolution – changing applications over time to suit new requirements
  • Benefit 6: Health – keeping track that microservices are not overloaded
  • Other Considerations Hazelcast® Topology
