Case Study – The NetFlix Stack
In this case study we are going to embrace the Netflix stack and adopt it in our microservices. Since the beginning in time we heard : polyglot development environment. We are going to do the same here. In this section we will set up API Gateway using ZUUL, add auto discovery using Java and Typescript. The user will not know which request actually hit, as he is only going to access the Gateway. The first part of the case study deals with Introducing Zuul, Eureka and registering some services in it and how communication occurs via central Gateway. The next part will deal with more significant things such as how to deal with load balancing, security, etc. So let's get started. You can follow along with the example in Chapter 7/netflix cloud folder. We don't reinvent the wheel until and unless it is very much necessary. Lets leverage things the most we can. The following case study supports and encourages polyglot architecture. So let's get moving.
