Java in Microservices Architecture: A Study on Spring Boot and Cloud-Native Development

Microservices architecture has revolutionized how applications are developed, deployed, and updated in modern applications. This study paper discusses the contribution of Java especially together with the Spring Boot framework to making cloud-native microservices a reality. The research targets the architectural benefits of Java, its support ecosystem, and its ability to be supported by new generation deployment tools such as Docker and Kubernetes. It also explores typical issues like service communication, security, and deployment orchestration, and emphasizes best practices and real-world examples. The paper ends by determining the future scope of Java in microservices and how it can be integrated with other upcoming technologies.
