With over 75 million downloads per month, Spring Boot is the most widely used Java framework available. Its ease and power have revolutionized application development from monoliths to microservices. Yet Spring Boot’s simplicity can also be confounding. How do developers learn enough to be productive immediately? This practical book shows you how to use this framework to write successful mission-critical applications.

Mark Heckler from VMware, the company behind Spring, guides you through Spring Boot’s architecture and approach, covering topics such as debugging, testing, and deployment. If you want to develop cloud native Java or Kotlin applications with Spring Boot rapidly and effectively–using reactive programming, building APIs, and creating database access of all kinds–this book is for you.

Learn how Spring Boot simplifies cloud native application development and deployment
Build reactive applications and extend communication across the network boundary to create distributed systems
Understand how Spring Boot’s architecture and approach increase developer productivity and application portability
Deploy Spring Boot applications for production workloads rapidly and reliably
Monitor application and system health for optimal performance and reliability
Debug, test, and secure cloud-based applications painlessly

Kotlin (/ˈkɒtlɪn/)^[2] is a cross-platform, statically typed, general-purpose programming language with type inference. Kotlin is designed to interoperate fully with Java, and the JVM version of Kotlin’s standard library depends on the Java Class Library,^[3] but type inference allows its syntax to be more concise. Kotlin mainly targets the JVM, but also compiles to JavaScript (for e.g. frontend web applications using React^[4]) or native code (via LLVM), e.g. for native iOS apps sharing business logic with Android apps.^[5] Language development costs are borne by JetBrains, while the Kotlin Foundation protects the Kotlin trademark.^[6]

On 7 May 2019, Google announced that the Kotlin programming language is now its preferred language for Android app developers.^[7] Since the release of Android Studio 3.0 in October 2017, Kotlin has been included as an alternative to the standard Java compiler. The Android Kotlin compiler targets Java 6 by default, but lets the programmer choose to target Java 8 up to 13, for optimization,^[8] or more features.^[9]
