Getting started with Spring Boot microservices. Why and how.

In order to quickly develop microservices, Spring Boot is a common choice. Why should I be interested in Spring Boot? In this blog post I'll give you some reasons why looking at Spring Boot is interesting and give some samples on how to get started quickly. I'll shortly talk about microservices, move on to Spring Boot and end with Application Container Cloud Service which is an ideal platform to run and manage your Spring Boot applications on. This blog touches many subjects but they fit together nicely. You can view the code of my sample Spring Boot project here. Most of the Spring Boot knowledge has been gained by the following free course by Java Brains.
