Spring Cloud
Previously we developed microservices using Spring Boot. These were all stand alone applications. But suppose we now have to connect the various applications and build a distributed system.
Why Spring cloud is required?
When developing distributed microservices with Spring Boot we face the following issues--
Complexity associated with distributed systems-
This overhead includes network issues, Latency overhead, Bandwidth issues, security issues. -
Service Discovery-
Service discovery tools manage how processes and services in a cluster can find and talk to one another. It involves a directory of services, registering services in that directory, and then being able to lookup and connect to services in that directory. -
Redundancy-
Redundancy issues in distributed systems. -
Loadbalancing-
Load balancing improves the distribution of workloads across multiple computing resources, such as computers, a computer cluster, network links, central processing units, or disk drives. -
Performance issues-
Performance issues due to various operational overheads.
