In this series I will show how to get rid with one of the Java EE Application Server era myths: High Availability.
During the hegemony run of Java EE container, often we developers are “protected” from the distributed system concerns by these large pieces of enterprise middleware wonders known as containers.
I don’t consider a flaw per se in Java EE, but perhaps a necessary step in abstraction progress that worked well for a certain time in history that we are, gradually, depending on the shop, leaving behind us.
Today with virtualization and containerization tech, microservices, devops engineering techniques and commodity linux tooling we can implement HA in a more self evident and flexible way. We’ll how to achieve HA with these “alternative” stack in the following posts:
Part 1 – Coding the infrastructure for Spring Boot Microservices with Ansible and Vagrant
Part 3 – Load Balancing Spring Boot Microservices with HAProxy
Part 4 – Adding Fault Tolerance to Spring Boot Microservices with VIPs and Keepalived
Part 5 – Isolating Spring Boot Microservices with Docker
Part 6 – Managing Spring Boot Microservices Clusters with Docker Swarm
See you in the first installment.
Update (2016-05-13):
Just included a new Part 2. Simply debian packaging topic grew too much.
