Summary
In this chapter, we explored microservices patterns with Spring Cloud. We focused on the service discovery, load balancing, gateway, configuration management, and resilience patterns.
We discussed service discovery in detail, emphasizing the dynamic mechanisms that enable seamless communication between services. We used Eureka as a case study for this discussion.
Next, we covered the importance of load balancing in distributing network traffic across multiple servers to enhance performance and reliability. We provided practical steps for implementing client-side load balancing using Spring Cloud LoadBalancer and highlighted its role in improving system robustness.
Additionally, we delved into gateway implementation with Spring Cloud Gateway, explaining how gateways act as reverse proxies to centralize routing, enhance security, and manage HTTP requests effectively. We also discussed the use of predicates and filters to customize routing logic.
