Adding Service Discovery Using Netflix Eureka
In this chapter, we will learn how to use Netflix Eureka as a discovery service for microservices based on Spring Boot. To allow our microservices to communicate with Netflix Eureka, we will use the Spring Cloud module for Netflix Eureka clients. Before we delve into the details, we will elaborate on why a discovery service is needed and why a DNS server isn't sufficient.
The following topics will be covered in this chapter:
- Introduction to service discovery
- Setting up a Netflix Eureka server
- Connecting microservices to a Netflix Eureka server
- Setting up the configuration for development use
- Trying out Netflix Eureka as a discovery service
