Hands-On Java with Kubernetes
Publication date: December 2025
This book is a practical guide for developers eager to build, deploy, and scale Java applications in the cloud-native age. Instead of overwhelming you with theory, it takes a hands-on approach, showing you how to run your first Spring Boot and Quarkus apps on Kubernetes without writing a single line of YAML or Dockerfile.
From setting up a local Kubernetes environment to mastering best practices, security, scalability, and service mesh, you’ll learn how to leverage frameworks and tools like Quarkus, Spring Boot, Prometheus, Istio, Tekton, and Argo CD. Each chapter includes runnable examples in a GitHub repository, making it easy to follow along.
Whether you’re a Java developer new to Kubernetes or an experienced engineer looking to modernize applications, this book offers step-by-step guidance to help you navigate the cloud-native ecosystem and confidently deliver production-ready applications.
Mastering Spring Cloud
Publication date: April 2018
Developing, deploying, and operating cloud applications should be as easy as for local applications. This should be the governing principle behind any cloud platform, library, or tool. Spring Cloud–an open-source library–makes it easy to develop JVM applications for the cloud. In this book, you will be introduced to Spring Cloud and master its features from the application developer’s perspective.
This book begins by introducing you to microservices with Spring and the feature set available in Spring Cloud. You will learn to configure the Spring Cloud server and run the Eureka server to enable service registration and discovery. Then you will learn about load-balancing and circuit-breaking techniques and use all features of the Feign client. The book now delves into advanced topics where you will learn to implement distributed tracing solutions for Spring Cloud and build message-driven microservice architectures. Before running an application on Docker containers, you will master testing and securing techniques with Spring Cloud.
