Service Discovery with Eureka

Service discovery is an essential component of a microservices architecture. Netflix Eureka makes it possible to manage service registration and discovery efficiently.

1. Eureka Server Configuration

1.1 Project Creation

curl https://start.spring.io/starter.tgz \
    -d dependencies=cloud-eureka-server \
    -d groupId=com.example \
    -d artifactId=eureka-server \
    -d name=eureka-server \
    -d description=Eureka%20Server%20for%20Microservices \
    -d packageName=com.example.eureka \
    -d packaging=jar \
    -d javaVersion=17 \
    | tar -xzvf -

spring:
  application:
    name: eureka-server

eureka:
  instance:
    hostname: localhost
  client:
    register-with-eureka: false
    fetch-registry: false
    service-url:
      defaultZone: http://${eureka.instance.hostname}:${server.port}/eureka/
