Spring Microservices with Zuul, Eureka, Ribbon, and JWT

Overview

This project demonstrates a microservices architecture using Spring Boot. It integrates the following technologies:

• Zuul: API Gateway
• Eureka: Service Discovery
• Ribbon: Client-side Load Balancer
• JWT: JSON Web Tokens for secure authentication

Features

• API Gateway: Routing and filtering requests to various microservices using Zuul.
• Service Discovery: Dynamic discovery of microservices using Eureka.
• Load Balancing: Distributing requests among instances of microservices with Ribbon.
• Authentication: Secure access to services with JWT.

Components

Zuul Gateway

Handles routing of requests to the appropriate microservice based on predefined rules.

Eureka Server

Acts as the service registry where all microservices register themselves for discovery.

Eureka Client

Microservices that register with the Eureka Server to make themselves discoverable.

Ribbon

Provides client-side load balancing to distribute requests across multiple instances of a service.

JWT Authentication

Ensures secure access to the microservices by validating JWT tokens.
