Microservices, Spring Cloud & Cloud Foundry
The document discusses microservices architecture, distributed system patterns, Spring Boot, Spring Cloud, and Cloud Foundry. It defines microservices and compares monolithic vs microservices styles. Key advantages of microservices include using the right tool for each job and easier scaling. Challenges include complexity and coordination. Distributed patterns like centralized configuration, service registry, dynamic routing, and circuit breakers help address challenges. Spring Boot and Spring Cloud simplify building microservices and provide tools that implement common patterns. Cloud Foundry is a PaaS that makes deploying microservices applications easy.
