This project provides Netflix OSS integrations for Spring Boot apps through autoconfiguration and binding to the Spring Environment and other Spring programming model idioms. With a few simple annotations you can quickly enable and configure the common patterns inside your application and build large distributed systems with battle-tested Netflix components. The patterns provided include Service Discovery (Eureka), Circuit Breaker (Hystrix), Intelligent Routing (Zuul) and Client Side Load Balancing (Ribbon). Service Discovery is one of the key tenets of a microservice-based architecture. Trying to hand-configure each client or some form of convention can be difficult to do and can be brittle. Eureka is the Netflix Service Discovery Server and Client. The server can be configured and deployed to be highly available, with each server replicating state about the registered services to the others.
Features
- To include the Eureka Client in your project, use the starter with a group ID
- When a client registers with Eureka, it provides meta-data about itself
- Eureka receives heartbeat messages from each instance belonging to a service
- Configuration is required to locate the Eureka server
- HTTP basic authentication is automatically added to your eureka client
- Eureka uses the client heartbeat to determine if a client is up
