Micronaut in Action: Designing, Developing, and Deploying Resilient, Cloud-Native Applications is your comprehensive guide to mastering microservices with the Micronaut framework. This book takes you on a hands-on journey through every stage of the microservice lifecycle, from initial design and development to testing, deployment, and production monitoring. You'll learn how Micronaut's innovative compile-time dependency injection and minimal memory footprint enable lightning-fast startup times and high performance, making it a compelling alternative to traditional frameworks like Spring Boot.

Through practical examples and real-world scenarios, you'll build robust, scalable REST APIs, integrate with relational and NoSQL databases, secure services using JWT and OAuth2, and leverage event-driven architectures with Kafka and RabbitMQ. The book also covers advanced topics such as distributed tracing, observability, containerization, and deploying to cloud platforms and Kubernetes. Whether you're migrating legacy applications or starting greenfield projects, this book equips you with the patterns, best practices, and tools needed to deliver resilient, production-ready microservices in Java. Ideal for intermediate Java developers, Micronaut in Action ensures you are ready to build, test, and maintain modern microservice systems for today's demanding cloud environments.
