dvalin - Taimos Microservice Framework

Dvalin is a Java micro service framework based on several open-source frameworks to combine the best tools into one quick start suite for fast, reliable and scaling micro services. The core technology is the Spring framework and dvalin uses our Daemon Framework as the lifecycle management for the service process.

To use dvalin in your project add the maven dependencies as shown below. It is recommended to set the dvalin version as property to make sure all modules you use have the same version.

<dependency>
    <groupId>de.taimos</groupId>
    <artifactId>dvalin-<MODULENAME></artifactId>
    <version>${dvalin.version}</version>
</dependency>

Then add dvalin as a BOM to the maven dependency management to ensure compatibly versions of used third-party libraries.

<dependencyManagement>
    <dependencies>
        <dependency>
            <groupId>de.taimos</groupId>
            <artifactId>dvalin-parent</artifactId>
            <version>${dvalin.version}</version>
            <type>pom</type>
            <scope>import</scope>
        </dependency>
    </dependencies>
</dependencyManagement>

Parts of dvalin

Dvalin provides several independent but combineable libraries serving different purposes around the runtime and interaction of micro services. By adding a library as a Maven dependency, it gets activated automatically and all the needed Spring components are started.

These libraries are:

• daemon - the core library for lifecycle and basic Spring enhancements
• jaxrs - implement JAX-RS based REST services using the Apache CXF framework
• jaxrs-jwtauth - JSON Web Token support for the jaxrs module
• jpa - connect to SQL databases using the popular Hibernate framework
• mongodb - connect to MongoDB document store
• dynamodb - connect to AWS DynamoDB data storage
• cloud - basic tools to communicate with Cloud providers
• cluster - basic tools to form a cluster
• template - templating functionality
• notification - notification service to send e-mails and use template engines
• monitoring - monitoring service to report statistics of your service
• interconnect - communication framework to connect micro services with each other
• orchestration - orchestration tools like service discovery and global configuration
• test - utilities for writing tests
• i18n - internationalization and localization support
