How do you use Eureka?

Eureka is an open-source service discovery tool used for setting up service registration and discovery in distributed systems. Here are the general steps for using Eureka:

  1. Install Eureka server: Download the binary file of Eureka server or build it using a build tool, then start the Eureka server.
  2. Setting up Eureka server: Before launching the Eureka server, some configurations need to be done such as specifying the port number and the name of the service registration center.
  3. Registering service: In the service to be registered, add the Eureka client dependency and configure it. The configuration includes the address of the Eureka server, the registered service name, etc.
  4. Start the service: Start the service project with the Eureka client registered, which will register its information to the Eureka server.
  5. View registration information: You can check the registered service information, such as service name, address, and health status, by accessing the Eureka server’s management interface or API.
  6. Discovering Services: In other projects that require calling a service, the Eureka client can be used to find the address of the service and make the call.

It is important to note that the above steps are a general usage method, and specific configurations and usage may vary depending on different development environments and scenarios.
