Follow the instructions below to set up the project on your local machine for development and testing purposes.

Ensure you have the following software installed on your system before proceeding:

• Java Development Kit (JDK) 17 or later
• Maven
• Docker (optional, for containerization)

1. Clone the repository:

git clone git remote add origin [email protected]:ali-bouali/springboot-3-micro-service-demo.git

2. Navigate to the project directory:
3. Build and package each component with Maven:

The API Gateway serves as the single entry point for all client requests, managing and routing them to the appropriate microservices.

The Config Server centralizes configuration management for all microservices, simplifying application maintenance and consistency across environments.

The Discovery Server provides service registration and discovery, enabling seamless service-to-service communication within the microservices ecosystem.

The Student Microservice is responsible for managing student-related data and operations, such as adding, updating, and retrieving student records.

The School Microservice manages school-related data and operations, including adding, updating, and retrieving school records.

This project demonstrates inter-service communication using OpenFeign, a declarative REST client that simplifies service-to-service communication within the microservices ecosystem.

The project showcases the use of Zipkin for distributed tracing, enhancing application observability and enabling the visualization and troubleshooting of latency issues.
