Book Extra Chapters - U.2.5: Upgrade to Spring Boot 2.5.5, JDK 17

This repository contains the source code of the practical use case described in the book Learn Microservices with Spring Boot (2nd Edition).

If you want to know more details about the book and its extra chapters, make sure to visit this page.

The book follows a pragmatic approach to building a Microservice Architecture, using a reference implementation that evolves from a small monolith to a full microservice system.

Upgrade - Spring Boot 2.5.5, JDK 17

This extra chapter brings the project dependencies to the latest Spring Boot and Java versions.

All these changes are described in detail in a blog post at The Practical Developer's website. Visit https://thepracticaldeveloper.com/book-update-2.5.5/

Changes - migrating from Spring Boot 2.4.0 to 2.5.5

A summary of the updates included in this package:

• [Multiplication]: Changed the logic of ChallengeGeneratorService to use the new JDK 17's RandomGenerator interface. This fixes a test but also uses good testing practices (Mock over Spy).
• [Gamification]: Removed the trick inside application-default.properties since that's not needed anymore and broke the build after the update.

The full description is here.

Running the app

You can use Docker to start the complete system, and you can also run the services one by one on your computer. See the book's last chapter repository for the detailed instructions.

I pushed the new images to the public registry, so you can get the system up and running with the new versions using Docker Compose:

docker$ docker-compose -f docker-compose-public.yml up
