Building Applications with Spring 5 and Kotlin

Spring Cloud in practice

Finally, it's time to show you how to use Spring Cloud. We are going to extend our project and introduce the implementations for the most frequently used Spring Cloud components. To be able to use it, extend the build.gradle configuration with the Spring Cloud dependency:

buildscript { 
    ext { 
        kotlinVersion = '1.1.60' 
        springBootVersion = '2.0.0.M6' 
    } 
    ... 
} 
 
... 
 
repositories { 
    ... 
} 
 
dependencies { 
    ... 
    // compile 'org.springframework.cloud:spring-cloud-config-server' 
    ... 
} 
 
dependencyManagement { 
    imports { 
        mavenBom "org.springframework.cloud:spring-cloud-dependencies:Finchley.M4" 
    } 
} 

As you can see, we upgraded Spring Boot version 2.0.0.M4 to 2.0.0.M6. We also added (for now, under the comments) the spring-cloud-config-server ...
