We built a basic component offering a few services in Chapter 5, Building Microservices with Spring Boot. In this chapter, we will focus on adding more features to make ;our microservice production ready.

We will discuss how to add these features to our microservice:

• Exception handling
• HATEOAS
• Caching
• Internationalisation

We will also discuss how to document our microservice using Swagger. We will look at the basics of securing the microservice with Spring Security.
