Typical Java-Spring microservice

Overview

We often create new typical microservice with Java-Spring and many technologies around this stack. Of course, nobody remembers the full structure of all configurations for a project like this. Nobody doesn't write manually configuration of maven plugins or string of DB data source or OpenAPI specification. Anyone always google it, and then paste and edit it for their own case. That's because I created a simple template project for quick access to examples.

Technologies

In this project setup and configured the next technologies.

  • Java 17
  • Spring Boot 2.7.4
  • Maven
  • Liquibase
  • H2
  • JPA
  • Git
  • Lombok
  • Actuator / Prometheus

Great read:

Is it Time to go Back to the Monolith?

History repeats itself. Everything old is new again and I’ve been around long enough to see ideas discarded, rediscovered and return triumphantly to overtake the fad. In recent years SQL has made a tremendous comeback from the dead. We love relational databases all over again. I think the Monolith will have its space odyssey moment again. Microservices and serverless are trends pushed by the cloud vendors, designed to sell us more cloud computing resources.

Microservices make very little sense financially for most use cases. Yes, they can ramp down. But when they scale up, they pay the costs in dividends. The increased observability costs alone line the pockets of the “big cloud” vendors.
