Mastering Microservices with Java - Third Edition

Implementation

We'll modify the service code structure of the eureka-server directory. We'll do so by following three steps:

1. Maven dependency: First, we'll add a Spring Cloud dependency, as shown here, and a startup class with the @EnableEurekaServer annotation in pom.xml:

<dependency> 
   <groupId>org.springframework.cloud</groupId> 
   <artifactId>spring-cloud-netflix-eureka-server</artifactId> 
</dependency>

2. Startup class: Next, the startup class, App, will run the Eureka service seamlessly by just using the @EnableEurekaServer class annotation. This annotation does all the work for us. It adds /eureka endpoints, which provide the Eureka HTTP API. It also adds a Eureka UI, which displays the service instance tables with some other details:
