A backend application built using Spring Boot Microservices Architecture to demonstrate service decomposition, API Gateway routing, service discovery, and inter-service communication.
The project showcases how enterprise applications can be divided into independent services that communicate through centralized routing and service discovery mechanisms.
This project was developed to explore and implement core microservices concepts using the Spring ecosystem.
Instead of managing all business logic within a single monolithic application, the system is divided into multiple services that operate independently while remaining connected through a centralized architecture.
The project demonstrates:
- Service Discovery
- API Gateway Routing
- RESTful Communication
- Distributed Architecture
- Independent Service Management
- Scalable Backend Design
- Microservices Architecture
- API Gateway Pattern
- Eureka Service Discovery
- REST API Communication
- Service Registration
- Dynamic Service Resolution
- Independent Service Deployment
- Centralized Request Routing
- Scalable System Design

All incoming requests are routed through the API Gateway, which uses Eureka Service Discovery to locate and communicate with the appropriate microservice.
The API Gateway acts as the single entry point for client requests.
- Request Routing
- Centralized Access Point
- Service Resolution
- Traffic Management
- Communication with Eureka
Benefits:
- Simplified Client Communication
- Centralized Request Handling
- Better Scalability
- Easier Service Management
The project uses Eureka Server for service registration and discovery.
- Service Registration
- Service Discovery
- Dynamic Instance Resolution
- Service Availability Tracking
Each microservice registers itself with Eureka during startup and becomes discoverable across the system.
Services communicate using REST APIs.
This architecture enables:
- Loose Coupling
- Independent Development
- Independent Deployment
- Better Maintainability
- Improved Scalability
- Java
- Spring Boot
- Spring Cloud
- Spring Web
- Eureka Discovery Server
- API Gateway
- RESTful APIs
- Maven
- Git
