Building a Spring Boot app is one thing; getting it running reliably on AWS is another. This course, an extension of the Stratospheric ebook, focuses specifically on that second part — taking a Java application all the way to a production AWS deployment.

Building with real AWS services

Using Spring Cloud AWS for the integration work, you'll build a web application that ties into SQS (queueing), S3 (storage), SNS (notifications), RDS (relational databases), Cognito (identity management), and ECS (container orchestration).

Getting to production

  • Setting up a continuous deployment pipeline
  • Managing infrastructure as code with CloudFormation and the AWS CDK
  • Comparing different deployment patterns
  • Applying monitoring practices that catch problems early

No prior AWS experience is assumed — the course is built to take a Java developer from no cloud background to a working, production-ready Spring Boot deployment on AWS.

Release Notes

  • Revision 1.13 (2024-07-23) - Links that previously led to chapter-specific example applications now lead to the main example application to avoid the chapter-specific apps to become outdated.
  • Updated the chapter Designing a CDK Project to make it easier to find the IP address of the deployed service.
  • Added a GitHubActionsApp CDK App to the repository and to the appendix that automatically creates the prerequisite IAM permissions for deploying from a GitHub Actions workflow.

Leanpub thumbnail

Leanpub is a Canadian self-publishing platform for technical books, founded in 2010 by Peter Armstrong. The platform's distinctive feature is the publish-while-writing model — authors release in-progress books to early customers and update them iteratively as they're finished. Many widely-read modern dev books (including Domain-Driven Design Distilled, The Cucumber Book, and others) launched on Leanpub.

The CourseFlix listing carries two Leanpub titles: Stratospheric — From Zero to Production with Spring Boot and AWS and the Django for Beginners / APIs / Professionals trilogy. Material is paid and aimed at developers picking up Spring or Django through book-format learning.

Frequently asked questions

What prerequisites are needed for this course?
Participants should have a basic understanding of Java and some familiarity with Spring Boot. Prior exposure to AWS services would be beneficial, but the course does start with foundational lessons on deploying applications using AWS. Basic knowledge of Docker and GitHub Actions will also be helpful when working on continuous deployment pipelines.
What will students build during this course?
Students will build a sample Todo application that integrates with several AWS services such as SQS, S3, SNS, RDS, and Cognito. This hands-on approach allows learners to apply the concepts of deploying Java applications in a real-world context, facilitating a better understanding of integrating Spring Boot applications with AWS.
Who is the target audience for this course?
The course is aimed at Java developers who want to enhance their skills by learning how to deploy Spring Boot applications on AWS. It is suitable for those who have a foundational knowledge of Spring Boot and seek to understand the deployment process and AWS service integration in more depth.
How does this course compare to other Spring Boot courses?
Unlike many introductory Spring Boot courses, this course focuses on deploying applications on AWS and integrating with its services. It goes beyond basic application development to include building continuous deployment pipelines and using infrastructure-as-code tools like CloudFormation and AWS CDK, providing a comprehensive approach to production-ready deployment.
What AWS services are covered in the course?
The course covers several AWS services including SQS for message queuing, S3 for storage, SNS for notifications, RDS for relational databases, Cognito for identity management, and ECS for container services. These services are integrated with Spring Boot applications using Spring Cloud AWS to facilitate seamless operation.
What topics are not covered in this course?
The course does not cover advanced AWS DevOps practices outside of the integration with Spring Boot applications. It focuses on application deployment and integration rather than in-depth AWS service management or advanced topics such as AWS Lambda or AI/ML services.
What is the expected time commitment for the course?
The course consists of 32 lessons, each designed to be comprehensive yet manageable. While the total runtime isn't specified, students can expect to spend additional time outside of lesson hours on hands-on projects, particularly when building and deploying the sample Todo application. This may vary based on individual pace and prior experience.
