Summary

Tayeb Chlyah is a Java lead architect with expertise in performance, large-scale applications, microservices, and NoSQL databases. He has developed open-source Java libraries for Couchbase. JHipster is a Yeoman generator that helps Java full-stack developers quickly understand new technologies by generating complete applications combining Spring Boot backend and Angular or React frontend. It provides options for various architectures, databases, security, and more, allowing developers to try different combinations for their use cases. The focus of this article is on microservices and NoSQL with Couchbase. Couchbase is a document-oriented database that offers fast key-value store, powerful query engine, built-in indexers, and full-text search capabilities. Microservices architecture enables easier continuous delivery, better testability, scalability, and fault isolation by breaking down applications into small, modular services. JHipster handles complexities of microservices through service discovery, configuration, load balancing, fault tolerance, and centralized logging and monitoring. The article guides developers in creating a brewery microservice using Docker, Couchbase, and JHipster. It explains how to generate an API Gateway, configure JHipster Registry, and populate data with Couchbase Sample Buckets. The source code for the generated application is available at tchlyah/couchbase-jhipster-microservices-example.
