Tech Trek: A Software Engineer's Guide to Code and Beyond

Prerequisite: Basic knowledge of Spring boot application I am working on a series of implementing frameworks with Spring boot application but not getting enough time to blog it and post it here or on my LinkedIn profile. So, I have started uploading my work on my GitHub repository from where it can be downloaded easily. I tried my best to add short notes for each annotation/configuration/properties in README and even I have uploaded a few screenshots to understand in a more better way. Try it out and Please do let me know in case of any confusion. Spring Boot Actuator Spring Boot Ehcache Spring Boot Swagger Spring Boot JPA Will keep uploading with others framework as well. Feedback is also most welcome. Thank you. Happy Learning!

In this article, I am going to share my knowledge on Spring Cloud Ribbon and how can we use Ribbon with RestTemplate as well as with Feign Client. We will also see how Enabling discovery Sever will improve the scalability of Microservice. Before jumping into Spring Cloud, I am assuming you must be having knowledge of Eureka Server, Feign Client, and Client-Side load balancer. If not then read my below blog before jumping to Spring Cloud ribbon. Also, I am going to use my existing code to implement Ribbon . URLs: Declarative REST Client: Feign Microservices: Service Registry and Discovery Netflix Hystrix Circuit Breaker In my previous blog, I have already talked about the Eureka Server and how other applications are taking advantages of Eureka Server to fetch the host/port of client application. We have seen that three microservices application are up and running i.e. Discovery Server Product Service Price Service Where Product and Price service will register themselves to...

We already know that how microservices communicate with each other using RestTemplate. In this blog, we will see that how this can happen using Feign Client as well.  What is a Feign Client? Feign is an abstraction over REST based call. It makes writing web service clients easier. It Is as easy as creating interface and then annotate it. It has pluggable annotation support including Feign annotations and JAX-RS annotations. It also supports pluggable encoders and decoders and has supports for Spring MVC annotation. Using Feign, microservices can easily communicate with each other and developers don't have to bother about REST internal details and can only concentrate on business logic. Implementation. I am going to use my previous applications to demonstrate the working of Feign Client. So before starting feign-client application. Make sure all the below three applications are already up and running.  Discovery-server Product-server Price-server Feign Client Impl...
