Eureka is clean solution for Spring service registration and discovery. Eureka works very like Config server/client, it put all the end-points together instead of config files.

Eureka Server

1. Create project from Spring Initializr Don’t forget add Eureka Server as dependency

2. Add annotation @EnableEurekaServer ~~~java @SpringBootApplication @EnableEurekaServer public class EurekaServerApplication {

   public static void main(String[] args) { SpringApplication.run(EurekaServerApplication.class, args); }

}

3. Update `application.yml`

~~~yaml
server:
  port: 8761
eureka:
  client:
    register-with-eureka: false
    fetch-registry: false

Eureka Client

1. Add Dependency in gradle:

    implementation 'org.springframework.cloud:spring-cloud-starter-netflix-eureka-client'
   

2. Update the bootstrap.yml

This is impoatant! you don’t need to change application.yml, because we have moved the config file to the config server.

you also don’t need @EnableDiscoveryClient or @EnableEurekaClient.

1. Rebuild the application, and start both Eureka server and you application (in here, I am still using the producer-helloworld-server)

2. go to http://localhost:8761, you should see your service listed:

Conclusion

• Same shit as Config server/config client
• No coding required
