Go Full Stack With Spring Cloud Microservices and React JS

🛠️ Course Title: Go Full Stack With Spring Cloud Microservices and React

🚀 Introduction to the Course

Embark on a comprehensive journey to master full-stack development by building an online course application using Spring Boot, Spring Cloud, React JS, and more. This course is designed to equip you with hands-on experience in creating a scalable, robust, and responsive application using microservices architecture.

🌟 Course Overview

In this course, we will collaborate to create an online-course-application that functions like a dynamic marketplace for books, food, or courses. Users can browse the product list and engage in transactions, all of which will be logged meticulously.

🔨 Microservices Architecture

Our application architecture is built upon five distinct microservices:

• Api Gateway: Serves as the central hub for API management and user authorization.
• Course Service: Manages all aspects of course creation, reading, updates, and deletions (CRUD).
• Purchase Service: Handles transaction logs and records for course purchases.
• Eureka Discovery Service (Server & Client): Facilitates service discovery and communication within the application ecosystem without relying on hardcoded hostnames and ports.
• Frontend with React: Consumes data from the microservices to deliver a seamless user experience.

🛠️ Microservices Breakdown

Api Gateway

• Manages API calls to the various services within our application.
• Implements user management and authorization processes.

Course Service

• Dedicated to managing course data and operations.

Purchase Service

• Records all purchase transactions made by users.

Eureka Discovery Service

• Leverages Spring Cloud Netflix Eureka for service discovery and communication.
• Allows services to register with the server and find each other using service names.

🌍 Client-Side Interaction

On the client side, our React application will provide a user interface for users to manage courses and make purchases. All interactions from the UI are routed through the api gateway for security and management.

🔒 Security Implementation

• Spring Security: A critical component in our application for securing the backend.
• JWT (JSON Web Tokens): Used for secure user authentication across microservices.
• Secure Connections: Ensured between microservices using secure-key tokens.

🛥️ Database Technologies

Our application will utilize three different databases to demonstrate the full potential of a microservices architecture:

• MySQL: A widely-used open-source relational database.
• PostgreSQL: An advanced, open-source relational database system.
• H2Database: A lightweight and fast database for testing purposes.

🔗 Inter-Service Communication

We will use OpenFeign to manage the connection issues at the gateway and to facilitate inter-service communication with ease.

💻 Eureka Discovery Server

Acts as a central authority on microservices within our application, managing service registrations and connections.

🚀 Technologies Used

This project will showcase a variety of technologies, with Spring Boot serving as the cornerstone for building scalable and maintainable REST APIs. Other key technologies include:

• Spring Security: For robust security mechanisms.
• Hibernate: As the Object-Relational Mapping (ORM) tool.
• MySQL & PostgreSQL: For persistent data storage.
• Maven: For project management and automation.
• Lombok: For reducing boilerplate code.
• JWT: For JSON Web Tokens based authentication.
• OpenFeign: For defining HTTP requests as Java Methods.

🛠️ Testing with Postman

We will validate our microservices using Postman, a powerful tool for debugging and testing APIs to ensure they perform as expected.
