Mastering Microservices with Java - Third Edition

Execution

To see how our code works, first we need to build it and then execute it. We'll use the maven clean package command to build the service JARs.

Now, to execute these service JARs, simply execute the following command from the project's home directory:

java -jar <service>/target/<service_jar_file> 

Here are some examples:

java -jar restaurant-service/target/restaurant-service.jar 
java -jar user-service/target/user-service.jarjava -jar booking-service/target/booking-service.jar

So far, we have created the microservices that run independently and have no dependencies on each other. Later in this book in Chapter 9, Inter-Process Communication Using REST, we'll see how these microservices communicate with each other.
