Book Extra Chapters - U.2.6: Upgrade to Spring Boot 2.6.2, Spring Cloud 2021.0, and JDK 17

Good news! The book contents are still good and everything in there applies to the newest releases. If you don't have it yet, get it now!

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 2.6.2, JDK 17

This extra chapter brings the project dependencies to the latest Spring Boot, Spring Cloud, 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-2.6.2/

Changes - migrating from Spring Boot 2.5.5 to 2.6.2

There are no additional changes needed in our codebase for this update apart from the version updates:

  • All poms changed from 2.5.5 to 2.6.2
  • Spring Cloud version now points to 2021.0.0
  • Docker-compose file also points to the new generated images

Gateway: a minor remark

After this update, I see a long stacktrace in the Gateway with a message as follows:

i.n.r.d.DnsServerAddressStreamProviders  : Unable to load io.netty.resolver.dns.macos.MacOSDnsServerAddressStreamProvider, fallback to system defaults. This may result in incorrect DNS resolutions on MacOS.
...        
Caused by: java.lang.UnsatisfiedLinkError: 'io.netty.resolver.dns.macos.DnsResolver[] io.netty.resolver.dns.macos.MacOSDnsServerAddressStreamProvider.resolvers()'

This is only relevant if you're running the project in MacOS. It seems this has been always there but its logging level was promoted and now we see it in the console. It doesn't have any impact on the running microservice.

Running the app
