Mastering Spring Cloud

By: Piotr Mińkowski

Overview of this book

Developing, deploying, and operating cloud applications should be as easy as local applications. This should be the governing principle behind any cloud platform, library, or tool. Spring Cloud–an open-source library–makes it easy to develop JVM applications for the cloud. In this book, you will be introduced to Spring Cloud and will master its features from the application developer's point of view. This book begins by introducing you to microservices for Spring and the available feature set in Spring Cloud. You will learn to configure the Spring Cloud server and run the Eureka server to enable service registration and discovery. Then you will learn about techniques related to load balancing and circuit breaking and utilize all features of the Feign client. The book now delves into advanced topics where you will learn to implement distributed tracing solutions for Spring Cloud and build message-driven microservice architectures. Before running an application on Docker container s, you will master testing and securing techniques with Spring Cloud.

Eureka API


Spring Cloud Netflix provides a client written in Java that hides the Eureka HTTP API from the developer. In case we use other frameworks than Spring, Netflix OSS provides a vanilla Eureka client that can be included as a dependency. However, we may imagine a need to call the Eureka API directly, for example, if the application is written in another language than Java, or we need such information as a list of registered services in the Continuous Delivery process. Here's a table for quick reference:
