Orchestrating your microservices with Eureka and Feign


Introduction


This is a well known scenario: It´s time to add some new functionality to your application and you decide to add a new member to the family of micro-services.
In this example, we are going to use a service called "Sparkker" that will consume stock quotations from anothed service called "Stokker" and will publish the results to another service called "Portfolio-Manager"

This is a diagram showing the whole picture:



It´s obvious that the number of lines connecting the services increase and increase, making the maintenance and configuration of the system very tedious. How can we solve it? We can´t spend the whole day coding integration code, we need to deliver added value!

One possible solution to all this mess is to use some of the components from the Netflix Stack that have been incorporated to the Spring Cloud project and that are very simple to use within Spring Boot. Interested?
