About the core features of Spring Cloud

Difference between SOA and Microservices

In fact, service architecture can already solve the needs of most enterprises, so why should we study microservices? First of all, tell me the difference between them;

Microservice architecture emphasizes that business systems need to be completely component-based and service-based. A component is a product that can provide services independently.

Microservices no longer emphasize the heavy ESB enterprise service bus in traditional SOA architecture

Microservices emphasize that each microservice has its own independent runtime space, including database resources.

The microservice architecture itself comes from the idea of the Internet, so the services published by components emphasize the use of HTTP Rest API.

Microservices will have smaller granularity

Summary: Microservice architecture is an extension of SOA architecture thinking, with more emphasis on the independence of individual services and smaller granularity.

Why consider Spring Cloud

Spring Cloud comes from Spring, quality, stability and continuity can be guaranteed

Spirng Cloud naturally supports Spring Boot, making it easier for businesses to land.

Spring Cloud is developing very fast, from 16 years of contact when the relevant component version is 1.x, to now will release 2.x series

Spring Cloud is the best framework for microservices in Java.

Spring Cloud supports microservice peripherals the most than any other framework.

For small and medium-sized enterprises, the threshold for use is low.

Spring Cloud is the best solution for microservices architecture

Distributed/Versioned Configuration

service registration and discovery

routing

Invocation between services

Load Balancer

circuit breaker

distributed messaging

These features are accomplished by different components and play an important role in the evolution of the architecture.
