Hands-On Microservices with Kotlin

Connecting to the Discovery Server

Now that we have a working Discovery Server, we can use it to register our microservices; but first, we need to add the Eureka client, so let's edit pom.xml from our microservice to add as a dependency:

.....<dependencies> <dependency>  <groupId>org.springframework.cloud</groupId>  <artifactId>spring-cloud-starter-netflix-eureka-client</artifactId> </dependency>.....</dependencies>

Now we can run our microservice, but remember that our Config Server and Discovery Server should be up and be running before we do that; from our microservice folder, we can just write:

mvnw spring-boot:run

In the log lines from our microservice, we should now see:
