Tackling a Problem with a Familiar Pattern
Discover how Spring Boot reduces Java complexity by using template patterns such as JdbcTemplate and Spring AMQP. Understand how these patterns simplify asynchronous messaging with RabbitMQ, Kafka, and more, enabling efficient message handling and listener registration in reactive applications.
We'll cover the following...
Before going into specific solutions, it’s important to recognize a key trait of the Spring portfolio. And that’s reducing Java complexity. In fact, that very expression was Rod Johnson’s message at the Spring Experience conference in 2008.
Template patterns
First and foremost, Spring was designed to simplify the way we build apps. One of the most powerful mechanisms available is the template pattern. It’s so powerful that it’s even included in the Gang of Four’s famous Design Patterns book.
JdbcTemplate
In essence, a template is meant to reduce the complexity of a particular API into its most simple operations. A good example is the JdbcTemplate. ...
