Eureka
A service registry enabling microservices to register dynamically, discover peers, handle failovers, and communicate without hardcoded hostnames and ports
&
| + | Service Registration | Enables microservices to register their network locations in the registry so that other services can locate them |
|---|---|---|
| + | Service Discovery | Allows microservices to query the registry for network locations of services so that they can connect during runtime |
| + | Client-Side Load Balancing | Delivers a list of service instances to clients that then choose an instance using a load selection process, thereby using registry data with client libraries to distribute requests among service instances so that workload is spread during client calls |
| + | Peer Replication | Enables registry nodes to exchange updates on registered services with one another to maintain a shared state of records |
| + | Heartbeat Mechanism | Requires microservices to send periodic signals to the registry to confirm their operational status, which helps remove entries for absent services |
| + | Self-Preservation Mode | Retains service records during network issues when heartbeat signals are absent, preventing the removal of services during connectivity issues that may still be in operation |
| + | Instance Metadata Registration | Registers each service instance with network details such as IP, port, and status URL to support system diagnostics and routing |
| + | Registry Replication | Allows registry nodes to replicate registration data among themselves so that multiple servers maintain a shared set of service records |
| + | REST API Endpoints | Offers HTTP endpoints for registering, discovering, and managing services, which enables integration with external systems |
| + | Service Health Monitoring | Provides endpoints to check the health status of registered service instances, which aids in system monitoring and operational actions |
| + | Caching of Registry Data | Stores queried registry data on clients to reduce the number of network calls, thereby improving access efficiency |
| + | Configuration Support | Uses configuration files or property sources to set registry parameters so that deployments can be tailored for each environment |
| + | Spring Cloud Ecosystem Integration | Operates within the Spring Cloud environment to enable communication and coordination among microservices using a shared registry |
| + | Zone Labeling | Allows service instances to register with zone or region labels so that discovery can be performed based on location segments |
| + | Failover Handling | Addresses registry operation during service restarts or network interruptions so that registry functionality continues across failures |
| + | Registration Update | Refreshes service registration details on a set schedule so that the registry maintains up-to-date records of active services |
| + | Identifier Convention | Uses application names as service identifiers during registration to support a unified naming approach in microservice systems |
| + | Query Customization | Provides options to filter registry queries using parameters so that users can retrieve specific sets of service records as needed |
| + | Dashboard Interface | Offers a web interface that displays service registration records and registry status so that system operators can oversee system operation |
| - | Limited Flexibilty | The registry is built to function with a defined set of tools (the Netflix OSS stack). This structure makes it less flexible when integrating with alternative frameworks. |
| - | Infrastructure Management Requirement | Demands a registry cluster setup for high availability, introducing extra components that must be maintained |
| - | Stale Instance Handling | Uses a self-preservation mode that may retain service information that is no longer valid, reducing the accuracy of the registry |
| - | Vendor Lock-in | Increases reliance on the Netflix OSS ecosystem, making it difficult to transition to alternative service discovery solutions. |
