Spring Boot and Angular - Second Edition

Build and deploy high-performance full-stack web apps using Spring Boot microservices and an Angular frontend, with modern CI/CD pipelines, security, and state management best practices

Key Features:

- Leverage modern full-stack integration patterns that harness the unique synergy between frontend and backend

- Apply best practices to write clean, maintainable, and scalable source code

- Boost development speed using Java, Spring Boot, Angular CLI, and modern GenAI tooling

- Purchase of the print or Kindle book includes a free PDF eBook

Book Description:

This book is your practical roadmap to building modern, production-ready full-stack applications. Through real-world examples and proven workflows, you'll combine Spring Boot 4 microservices with Angular 22's latest features to build secure, scalable systems ready for deployment. This second edition of Spring Boot and Angular, written by two seasoned full-stack experts, starts by laying a solid backend foundation with Spring Boot and Spring Cloud microservices, JWT security, and SQL and NoSQL databases using Spring Data. You'll then switch to the frontend to build reactive user interfaces with Angular, enable server-side rendering (SSR), and manage real-time data sharing for dynamic applications. You'll also connect Spring Boot APIs to Angular frontends using best practices and reactive integration patterns.

The chapters help you master development while boosting efficiency with AI-powered coding using GitHub Copilot in VS Code. This guide will enable you to deploy containerized Spring Boot services, optimize Angular builds, and run the entire platform as a single containerized deployment. By the end of this book, you'll have built a complete, deployable application and mastered the full development lifecycle.

What You Will Learn:

- Design full-stack apps for enterprise-level architecture

- Build Spring Boot microservices with an API gateway

- Persist data using Spring Data for SQL and NoSQL

- Secure microservices using JWT authentication

- Create reactive apps with WebFlux and Angular Signals

- Implement SSR in Angular for improved SEO and speed

- Stream real-time data in Angular apps

- Containerize and deploy the full stack with Docker Compose

Who this book is for:

This book is for Java and TypeScript developers with some familiarity with Spring Boot and Angular who are looking to move into full-stack roles and master Spring Boot microservices and Angular frontends through one cohesive workflow. You'll go from fragmented skills to building and shipping complete applications without requiring prior full-stack development experience. Basic web development knowledge is assumed.
