Hands-On Microservices with Kotlin

Overview of this book

With Google's inclusion of first-class support for Kotlin in their Android ecosystem, Kotlin's future as a mainstream language is assured. Microservices help design scalable, easy-to-maintain web applications; Kotlin allows us to take advantage of modern idioms to simplify our development and create high-quality services. With 100% interoperability with the JVM, Kotlin makes working with existing Java code easier. Well-known Java systems such as Spring, Jackson, and Reactor have included Kotlin modules to exploit its language features. This book guides the reader in designing and implementing services, and producing production-ready, testable, lean code that's shorter and simpler than a traditional Java implementation. Reap the benefits of using the reactive paradigm and take advantage of non-blocking techniques to take your services to the next level in terms of industry standards. You will consume NoSQL databases reactively to allow you to create high-throughput microservices. Create cloud-native microservices that can run on a wide range of cloud providers, and monitor them. You will create Docker containers for your microservices and scale them. Finally, you will deploy your microservices in OpenShift Online.

About the author

Juan Antonio Medina Iglesias began his career 20 years ago as an indie game developer and worked abroad four countries since then, from embedded software to enterprise applications. He has a lifetime's dedication to software craftsmanship.

Since 2006, he works at Santander Technology with a talented group of professionals who performed one of the biggest transformations in the banking industry.

Nowadays, he works as a Senior Engineer in the Digital Transformation team within Santander Technology UK.

I need to thank Victor Herraiz and Neil Cannon my official reviewers and to Francis Carneiro my Content Developer Editor. They have done a great work with the content of the book and the example code. I must as well thank, David Albone, Rachel Warburton, Alan Taylor and Khurram Mahmood for the unofficial reviews and feedback on the chapters.

About the reviewers

Neil Cannon has been developing Android applications since 2010, following many years working on server-side Java. After trying the Kotlin 1.0 beta, he moved away from Java and has written as little Java as possible since.

Víctor Herraiz Posada is a senior software engineer with more than 15 years of experience in designing and developing complex distributed systems for companies such as Santander Group and Mapfre.

He is passionate about teaching and training. He has given courses and talks on accessibility, quality control, design patterns, and programming languages. He loves physics, metal music, playing guitar, video games and old sci-fi movies, books, and comics.

I would like to thank Juan Antonio Medina Iglesias for asking me to review this insightful book. Microservices with Kotlin is quite a journey through the challenges that many companies have to face.
