Full Stack Development with JHipster

Working with Microservices

In the previous chapter, we created a gateway and two microservices using JHipster; now, let's see how we can further develop our microservices to include our domain model and additional business logic. Since we are converting our online shop monolith to a microservice architecture, we will see how the domain model we created using JDL can be converted into a microservice domain model. But before we can start, we need to set up some tools in order to work with microservices.

So in this chapter, we will see the following topics:

• How to set up JHipster Registry
• How to run the microservice setup locally
• Creating the domain model using JDL
• Generating the domain model in JHipster

Let's get started!
