Spring boot make it easy to create spring applications. It makes it easier and faster to set up, configure and run the web application. When I was working on one of the projects, I was required to use some credentials. But I can't use it directly in the code. It should be hidden and still accessible. We know that we can add the variable in the application.properties file and then use it in the java code.
Microservices architecture is a commonly used approach to building a system. In this article, I will show you how to build your microservices using Java and Spring Framework. The basic idea is to avoid forwarding requests to a service and let the Discovery Service decide which one is available.
In 2018, I was introduced to the topic of Microservices and Spring Boot via a formal training. I realized that though I know most of the Spring Boot annotations, I may not be aware of all of them. So, I decided to write this article.

This article will explain ways to shutdown a spring boot application 'cleanly' - This is different from a graceful shutdown at the application level, where application may need to perform certain actions or wait for a certain period of time to gracefully respond to current requests or to end current processing. The same steps as described above can be followed to kill the process.
I came across Docker Desktop for the first time about 3 years ago, when I was working as a Principal Architect (Strategic R & D) on the Microservices Reference Architecture for a product development organization. At times, I found it tough to use my laptop for daily development with it running. In the last month I used Docker Desktop and found it be smoother and running without any issues.
Is it time to move to GraalVM? Spoiler: it depends. Yes, if you’re building serverless, but probably no. With a few exceptions for some microservices, it can reduce the size and startup time of a binary significantly. But the situation isn’t as clear-cut. A JVM might still perform better in production for longer-running processes. Traditional deployments aren't as dependent on startup time or even on RAM.
