Spring 5.0 Cookbook

Overview of this book

The Spring framework has been the go-to framework for Java developers for quite some time. It enhances modularity, provides more readable code, and enables the developer to focus on developing the application while the underlying framework takes care of transaction APIs, remote APIs, JMX APIs, and JMS APIs. The upcoming version of the Spring Framework has a lot to offer, above and beyond the platform upgrade to Java 9, and this book will show you all you need to know to overcome common to advanced problems you might face. Each recipe will showcase some old and new issues and solutions, right from configuring Spring 5.0 container to testing its components. Most importantly, the book will highlight concurrent processes, asynchronous MVC and reactive programming using Reactor Core APIs. Aside from the core components, this book will also include integration of third-party technologies that are mostly needed in building enterprise applications. By the end of the book, the reader will not only be well versed with the essential concepts of Spring, but will also have mastered its latest features in a solution-oriented manner.

Preface

Implementing the Eureka service discovery and client-side load balancing


Although it is acceptable to call microservice endpoints directly from the Eureka server, explicitly through its machine name and ports, Spring Cloud offers automatic service discovery which makes RESTful service execution free from hardcoding the service URL. When it comes to duplicate instances for backup and recovery purposes, this recipe will define the concept of client-side load balancing wherein an algorithm is used to determine the most viable and healthy instance to utilize in executing the endpoints.

Getting started

Create another Eureka instance that will contain a @Controller, which will consume RESTful services from the Eureka registry applying client-side load balancing built by SpringCloudNetflixRibbon module.

How to do it...

Let us implement client-side load balancing by following these steps:

  1. First, create a Maven project ch10-eureka-client that contains pom.xml with SpringCloudFinchley dependencies. Just...
