The reference for building a production grade REST API with Spring.
The 14 modules cover building and securing the API for production use, advanced evolution and discovery techniques, client code to consume it from the front end, comprehensive monitoring, continuous integration, continuous deployment, and more.
In addition to the detailed guides on implementation, you'll also get the knowledge needed to run the API in production reliably and consistently. You'll get templates of my time-tested Spring API implementations along with the understanding of how to use these to get your own APIs out and into the hands of clients quickly.
Everything I wish I had access to when I built my first API with Spring.
