Introduction to Spring Cloud

Spring Cloud is an umbrella project that enables the development of distributed applications with microservices architecture. In this course we review available components and also take a deep dive into its architecture and capabilities.

Spring Cloud is a set of tools to build distributed systems with common patterns such as configuration management, service discovery, circuit breakers, intelligent routing, micro-proxy, control bus, one-time tokens, global locks, leadership election, distributed sessions, cluster state and so on.

It focuses on providing an out of the box experience for typical use cases and extensibility mechanisms. As a result developers can quickly stand up services and applications that implement boilerplate patterns for coordination of distributed systems. They will work well in any distributed environment, including the developer's own laptop, bare metal data centers or managed platforms.
