Build a Microservice with Spring Boot, Kafka, and Docker

Ready to move beyond monolithic applications and build scalable, resilient systems? This course provides a practical, hands-on path to creating a complete microservice from scratch. You will learn how to design, code, and deploy a real-world application using Spring Boot, handle asynchronous communication with Kafka, manage data with PostgreSQL, and package everything for deployment with Docker. You'll finish with a tangible project and the confidence to apply these skills professionally. What you'll learn: - Build a functional microservice application using Spring Boot from the ground up. - Implement event-driven communication patterns using Kafka to decouple services. - Manage data persistence with Spring Data JPA and a PostgreSQL database. - Containerize your application and its dependencies using Docker for consistent environments. - Write essential unit and integration tests to ensure your application is reliable. - Configure your application for different environments using Spring profiles. - Understand core microservice architecture principles and best practices. This course starts with the foundational concepts of microservice architecture before guiding you through the step-by-step construction of the application. Each section introduces a new technology and integrates it into the project, ensuring you understand both the theory and the practical application. This course is designed for developers with some Java experience who are new to microservices or the Spring ecosystem. No prior experience with Kafka or Docker is required.
