Overview of this book

Spring is one of the best frameworks on the market for developing web, enterprise, and cloud ready software. Spring Boot simplifies the building of complex software dramatically by reducing the amount of boilerplate code, and by providing production-ready features and a simple deployment model. This book will address the challenges related to power that come with Spring Boot's great configurability and flexibility. You will understand how Spring Boot configuration works under the hood, how to overwrite default configurations, and how to use advanced techniques to prepare Spring Boot applications to work in production. This book will also introduce readers to a relatively new topic in the Spring ecosystem – cloud native patterns, reactive programming, and applications. Get up to speed with microservices with Spring Boot and Spring Cloud. Each chapter aims to solve a specific problem or teach you a useful skillset. By the end of this book, you will be proficient in building and deploying your Spring Boot application.

The Spring Cloud Netflix project is one of the key sub-projects of Spring Cloud. This project provides integration between Netflix OSS and the Spring Boot application using the auto-configuration behavior of Spring Boot. You can build a large, distributed application by using some annotations of Spring Cloud; these annotations enable the Netflix components for your distributed systems. Netflix OSS provides multiple components for the distributed applications for several purposes, such as Service Discovery (Eureka), Circuit Breaker (Hystrix), Intelligent Routing (Zuul), and Client-Side Load Balancing (Ribbon). In this chapter, we will explore more about client-side Service Discovery and registering services to the Discovery server via Spring Cloud Netflix Eureka.

As you know, distributed cloud-native systems are built by several services hosted at different commodity servers. Netflix provides the Eureka server for the cloud-based application and it acts...
