How to live in a post-Spring-Cloud-Netflix world - Spring I/O 2019

Zuul? Gateway? Should we get rid of Ribbon? What is going on with Hystrix? If you have ever faced those questions, come and listen to this talk. In December 2018, Netflix decided to move a number of their popular OSS projects, like Hystrix and Ribbon into maintenance mode and to make newer, backward incompatible versions of some others, like Zuul and Archaius. The Spring Cloud team moved some of the corresponding Spring-Cloud-Netflix projects into maintenance mode as well and proposed a newer, more modern Spring Cloud stack that could be used instead. During this talk, we would like to show how to move over to these newer solutions. We will discuss possible approaches, show a code demo and speak about potential issues and solutions.

Works mostly on: • Spring Cloud Contract • Spring Cloud Netflix • Spring Cloud Gateway • Spring Cloud OpenFeign https://github.com/OlgaMaciaszek Marcin Grzejszczak (@mgrzejszczak) Spring Cloud developer at Pivotal. • Spring Cloud Sleuth • Spring Cloud Contract • CI / CD Blog: https://toomucoding.com
3. Spring + Netflix during Cloud-Native transition Spring Cloud Netflix Eureka Client Spring Cloud Netflix Eureka Server Spring Cloud Netflix Archaius Spring Cloud Netflix Ribbon Spring Cloud Netflix Zuul Spring Cloud Netflix Hystrix Spring Cloud Netflix Hystrix Dashboard Spring Cloud Netflix Turbine Spring Cloud Netflix Hystrix Stream Spring Cloud Netflix Turbine Stream
4. Netflix projects passed into maintenance or superseded • Ribbon, 2016 - https://github.com/Netflix/ribbon#project-status-on-maintenance • Hystrix Dashboard → Atlas • Zuul 1 → backward incompatible Zuul 2 • Archaius 1 → backward incompatible Archaius 2 • Hystrix, 2018 - https://github.com/Netflix/Hystrix#hystrix-status
5. Spring Cloud Netflix Maintenance Mode Greenwich RC1 announcement
6. Maintenance Mode No new features Fixes for blockers and security issues only Considering and reviewing small PRs from the community

10. Spring Cloud New Stack Time to make the transition
11. Spring Cloud Netflix Ribbon → Spring Cloud Load Balancer Currently `@LoadBalancerClient` works with WebFlux only Lacking implementations Spring Cloud Netflix Ribbon still used in other projects
12. Spring Cloud Netflix Zuul → Spring Cloud Gateway Zuul: • Non-reactive, Servlet-based • Routing by serviceId by default • Possibility to set up options via properties, including ignored services, patterns and headers and ignoring sensitive headers (true by default) • Routes set in properties with limited config (id, serviceId, path, url, stripPrefix, retrayable, sensitiveHeaders, customSensitiveHeaders) Gateway: • Reactive, Netty-based • Explicit route setup required • Possibility to define routes both via properties and via functional configuration • Predicates and Filters • All headers passed on by default
13. • More than 20 filters • As the infra is no longer blocking you, you can now move to reactive Web in your services if it makes sense for your use-case
14. Spring Cloud Hystrix → SC CircuitBreaker + Resilience4J SC Hystrix: • Uses Hystrix underneath • Possibility to use via @HystrixCommand annotation • Possibility to pass fallback method in annotation SC CircuitBreaker: • A Spring Cloud abstraction for circuit breakers https://github.com/spring-cloud-incubator/spring-cloud-circuitbreak er • Currently supports Hystrix and Resilience4J • Using via injected CircuitBreakerFactory bean and its create() method • Possibility to configure by setting up Customizer<CircuitBreakerFactory> bean in a @Configuration class
15. Spring Cloud Netflix Turbine → Micrometer + Prometheus Turbine: • Aggregated Hystrix metrics from various applications via HTTP • Via the Turbine Stream, managed to collect those via messaging Micrometer + Prometheus: • Micrometer - a metrics collection facade • Its aim is to allow you to time, count, and gauge your code with a vendor neutral API • One of the monitoring systems to which you can output the metrics is Prometheus
16. Spring Cloud Netflix Archaius → SC Config Server
17. Demo New Stack Card Application Service (SC LoadBalancerClient, Micrometer) Gateway Proxy (CircuitBreaker, Micrometer) User Service ([Resilience4J], Micrometer) Fraud Service (Micrometer) Prometheus Ignored Service [Eureka Service Discovery]
