Modern API Development with Spring 6 and Spring Boot 3: Design scalable, viable, and reactive APIs with REST, gRPC, and GraphQL using Java 17 and Spring Boot 3

How does the other half live?As .NET developer (Microsoft Java) -- I was fascinated on what it might be like to pretend to be a real Java (Oracle C#) developer for a day.Hey! there is no SignalR only gRpc. Shock and horror. Also something exists called @Bean. What is that? Does it have something to do with computers? These @Beans have a a scope and lifecycle. At the end of their lifecycle do they turn into coffee plants? Where my middleware at? Instead of routing middleware, We have a servlet dispatcher, which is closer to the bad-old days of HTTP Modules in ASP.NET Framework (pre-Core).Jokes apart, I highly recommend my .NET peeps to take a look at Java via this book. The differences are utterly fascinating.This book gives an excellent and surprisingly in-depth overview of thestate of the art Java API development. I picked up some async patterns in chapter 5 I am going to incorporate into my .NET APIs.The three entire chapters on GraphQL are extremely in-depth.Picked up some tips and tricks I am going to bring over to my C# work.Thanks Java guy!

I had the privilege of getting an exclusive preview of this book before its official release, and let me tell you, I've been in dire need of this book since last year!For those familiar with Packt's books, you know they consistently deliver well-crafted content with detailed explanations catering to readers of all levels. As a developer who relies on books for quick references, I appreciate the clarity and conciseness demonstrated in this book. It covers a wide range of topics, including RESTful Web Service Fundamentals, Spring and API concepts, API implementation, Writing Business Logic for APIs, API design, Security, Testing, Deployment, and more.The Unit Testing section, in particular, resonates with me as it aligns with my current focus at work. As a new FullStack developer, grasping numerous concepts in a short timeframe can be overwhelming. However, this book, alongside resources like ChatGPT and Stack Overflow, empowers me to swiftly access the information I need, presented with excellent explanations.Sourabh Sharma, the author, has skillfully established a foundation that developers of all levels can leverage to learn efficiently. If you have the chance and are on the lookout for a valuable addition to your developer toolkit, this is a great book.

I was able to get an exclusive peek into this book prior to its release and let me tell you this...I NEEDED THIS BOOK LIKE LAST YEAR! LOL!First of all, if you are familiar with books from Packt, then you know they are usually solid compositions with details to help even the most novice of readers. As a developer who loves using books as a quick reference, I love the simplicity and conciseness that which this book displays. Whether you are looking to understand RESTFUL Web Service Fundamentals, Spring and API concepts, API implementation, Writing Business Logic for APIs, API design, Security, Testing, Deployment, and more, this book has you covered. I particularly love the Unit Testing section as it is something I am doing more of at work for now. As a new FullStack developer, trying to understand so many concepts in such a short time can seem daunting. Yet, this book allows me, along with ChatGPT, Stack Overflow, etc., to find the information I need quickly and with great explanation. The author, Sourabh Sharma, clearly lays out a foundation on which developers from all levels can build upon while learning as efficiently as possible. If you have the opportunity, and are looking for a book to have in your developer toolkit, this book is a must-have!!!

Recently, I had a great chance to work on the Spring Boot 3 upgrade and this book has helped me a lot in learning new feature changes and upgrades. Thank you so much for providing helpful and valuable knowledge on the framework and his best practices when using it

I highly recommend 'Modern API Development with Spring 6 and Spring Boot 3' to anyone in the field. It's a comprehensive and practical guide for Java developers, covering scalability, reactivity, and the latest tech trends. A must-read that I suggest to everyone.

This book is great for anyone looking to build a REST API.
