Cloud Native Spring UIs

In this session, we look at how to develop clients that consume microservices in the cloud. We'll look at how to solve challenges of cross-origin request sharing (without employing CORS), security, and loose-coupling with regard to service addresses. This session will build upon what was learned in “Cloud Native Spring”, adding the notion of a service gateway to the stack.

Once you've developed the microservices that back your cloud native application, you'll likely need to put a user interface up front. Suddenly a new array of challenges presents itself.

• How do clients (JavaScript or native mobile) discover those services?
• How do clients consume those services without compromising the scalability of the services?
• How can the clients consume the services securely?
• Microservices will be scattered across multiple hosts/ports. How can a JavaScript client overcome the cross-origin issues imposed by the browser? (Hint: It doesn't necessarily involve CORS.)
