The API Gateway is the central entry point for all services in our microservice architecture. This service routes incoming requests to the relevant microservices.
- Routes to Restaurant and User services.
- Integrates with Eureka Discovery Server.
- Provides tracing support with Zipkin.
The configuration of the API Gateway is found in the application.yml file. This file specifies the port the service will run on, which services it will route to, and how it will integrate with Eureka and Zipkin.
This service is packaged to run on Docker. The Dockerfile specifies how the Docker image will be built.
You can use the following commands to build and run the Docker image:
docker build -t api-gateway .
docker run -p 8080:8080 api-gatewayThese commands first build the Docker image and then run the api-gateway service on port 8080.
- Restaurant Service: The API Gateway routes requests to the Restaurant Service at the
/api/v1/restaurants/**path. - User Service: The API Gateway routes requests to the User Service at the
/api/v1/users/**path. - Eureka Discovery Server: The API Gateway integrates with the Eureka Discovery Server for service discovery.
- Zipkin: The API Gateway integrates with Zipkin for tracing.
