Summary
In this chapter, we saw how Spring Cloud has evolved from being rather Netflix OSS-centric to having a much larger scope as of today, used together with tools including Resilience4j and Micrometer Tracing. We also introduced how components from the latest release of Spring Cloud 2022 can be used to implement some of the design patterns we described in Chapter 1, Introduction to Microservices, in the Design patterns for microservices section. These design patterns are required to make a landscape of cooperating microservices production ready.
Head over to the next chapter to see how we can implement service discovery using Netflix Eureka and Spring Cloud LoadBalancer!
