Microservices Patterns with Spring Cloud
This chapter explores microservices patterns with Spring Cloud, starting with service discovery and highlighting its roles in achieving scalability, resilience, and flexibility using Eureka, a service registry from Spring Cloud Netflix.
We then cover load balancing, which is crucial for effectively distributing network traffic among servers and enhancing performance and reliability. We focus on implementing client-side load balancing using Spring Cloud LoadBalancer.
After that, we explain and implement a gateway pattern using Spring Cloud Gateway to centralize routes, and also cover managing configurations with Spring Cloud Config, emphasizing centralized configuration management for distributed systems.
Finally, this chapter covers implementing resilience patterns using Resilience4J and the key resilience patterns, such as circuit breaker, retry, rate limiter, bulkhead, and fallback.
This chapter will cover the following topics...
