The post would demonstrate the creation of Micro-service for Comment-as-a-micro service scenario, using the Spring Cloud - making use of

Deploy the micro service on Cloud Foundry in SAP Cloud Platform.Use SAP Cloud Platform API Management to secure, publish,analyse and monetize APIs and micro services to internal and external consumers.

Motivation for using Spring Cloud



  • Distributed/versioned configuration

  • Service registration and discovery

  • Routing

  • Service-to-service calls

  • Load balancing

  • Circuit Breakers

  • Global locks

  • Leadership election and cluster state

  • Distributed messaging


 

Components involved


 


 

 

Zuul Gateway


Zuul is the front door for all requests from devices and web sites to the back-end of the service. Zuul is built to enable dynamic routing, monitoring, resiliency and security.It uses a range of different types of filters. These filters help perform the following functions:

  • Authentication and Security - identifying authentication requirements for each resource and rejecting requests that do not satisfy them.

  • Insights and Monitoring - tracking meaningful data and statistics in order to give an accurate view of production.

  • Dynamic Routing - dynamically routing requests to different back-end clusters as needed.

  • Stress Testing - gradually increasing the traffic to a cluster in order to gauge performance.

  • Load Shedding - allocating capacity for each type of request and dropping requests that go over the limit.

  • Static Response handling - building some responses directly instead of forwarding them to an internal cluster

  • Multi region Resiliency - routing requests across  regions in order to diversify  ELB usage and move  edges closer to users


Eureka Server


Eureka is a REST (Representational State Transfer) based service that is primarily used in locating services for the purpose of load balancing and fail-over of middle-tier servers.

Hystrix Circuit Breaker


Hystrix is a latency and fault tolerance library designed to isolate points of access to remote systems, services and third party libraries, stop cascading failure and enable resilience in complex distributed systems where failure is inevitable.It helps in

  • Latency and Fault Tolerance -Stop cascading failures. Fallback and graceful degradation. Fail fast and rapid recovery.

  • Real Time Operation-Real time monitoring and configuration changes. Watch service and property changes take effect immediately as they spread across a fleet.

  • Concurrency -Parallel execution. Concurrency aware request caching. Automated batching through request collapsing.

Once the jars are ready the application can be deployed on Cloud Foundry in SAP Cloud Platform
cf api https://api.cf.sap.hana.ondemand.com
cf login
Once the app is deployed then
//create the mongo service
cf create-service mongodb v3.0-dev mongoserv
//bind the service to the app
cf bind-service commentAsService mongoserv
//restage the app
cf restage commentAsService

Once the app is running the Swagger Spec would show all the available APIs hosted by the micro service.



Now that the service is available, let the stakeholders and customers use the service ,but first make sure the service is protected ,metered and throttled.

Check out this post how to protect,meter and throttle the APIs
