Do you know about the different microservices frameworks for Java?
Hello everyone. Microservices architecture is very commonly used these days and to facilitate the development using this architecture, we have the frameworks to help us. Every programming language like Java, Python, Golang, C#, etc has its framework to develop the microservices. In this article, we are going to look in detail at popular microservices frameworks for Java language and understand their features. We will also look at when to use these frameworks and discuss a hybrid approach where you can use different Microservice frameworks for different Microservice to explore their benefits. Let's get started.
Please check out my article to get some introduction to microservices
Microservices Frameworks for Java
Since the advent of Microservices, a lot of frameworks for Java have been evolving over time, and the list is growing.
Out of these microservices frameworks for Java, the popular ones are as follows
All these frameworks look similar to each other in terms of using maven or gradle dependencies as well as building and deploying the jar files into the embedded servers. The coding, IDE, and almost everything will look the same except for some different annotations. The major difference lies in their respective architecture internals like bootstrapping the server, injecting dependencies, routing the requests, and components used. If you know one of these, learning the other is not difficult as it still uses Java and runs on JVM.
