In this project I have implemented some features of Spring Cloud Project for building microservice-based architecture-

• RESTful web services
• Centralized Microservice Configuration with Spring Cloud Config Server
• Client side load balancing (Ribbon), Dynamic scaling(Eureka Naming Server) and an API Gateway (Zuul)
• Distributed tracing for microservices with Spring Cloud Sleuth and Zipkin
• Fault Tolerance for microservices with Zipkin

Note: Switch to Microservices branch

• Select Master or Microservices branch for Monolithic App and Microservices project respectively.
• Download the zip or clone the Git repository.
• Unzip the zip file (if you downloaded one)
• Open Command Prompt and Change directory (cd) to folder containing pom.xml
• Open Eclipse or STS(Spring Tool Suite)
  • File -> Import -> Existing Maven Project -> Navigate to the folder where you unzipped the zip
  • Select the right project
• Choose the Spring Boot Application file (search for @SpringBootApplication)
• Right Click on the file and Run as Java Application
  
  

• Maven - Dependency Management
• JDK - Java™ Platform, Standard Edition Development Kit
• Spring Boot - Framework to ease the bootstrapping and development of new Spring Applications
• MySQL - Open-Source Relational Database Management System
• git - Free and Open-Source distributed version control system
• STS(Spring Tool Suite) - Easy-to-use integration of the Spring Initializr and the famous Spring Guides
• Postman - API Development Environment (Testing API's)
