Do you want to build a cloud native application and don’t know where to start? How do services find each other? How do I configure many instances of each service? How do I see what’s going on with my services?
If you’ve ever asked any of these questions, this session will give you some answers using Spring Cloud and Netflix OSS to create microservices that are robust, discoverable, scalable and configurable.
Learn basic concepts about Spring Cloud and Netflix OSS and how they are integrated. See demos of and learn how to use the following:
- Spring Cloud Config Server (distributed configuration)
- Eureka (service registration and discovery)
- Hystrix (circuit breaker/fault tolerance library)
- Hystrix Dashboard (service health dashboard)
