This week my focus was mostly around implementing a microservices architecture using the Spring Framework,  specifically Spring Boot, as well as API Gateway using Spring Cloud Gateway and Spring WebFlux for reactive programming.

Spring Framework

Spring Framework is a hugely popular framework for enterprise development in Java, with a lot of different components that make it much easier and faster to develop complex solutions.

Spring Cloud API Gateway Global Filter Example
In this tutorial, you will learn how to create a very simple Spring Cloud API Gateway Global Pre-filter and Post filter classes. Global filters are executed for every route defined in the API Gateway. The main difference between pre-filter and post-filter class is that the pre-filter code is executed before Spring Cloud API Gateway routes the request to a destination web service endpoint. While the post-filter code will be executed after Spring Cloud API Gateway has routed the HTTP request to a destination web service endpoint.
