How do I implement a service registry in my microservices architecture?

To implement a service registry, you can use tools like Eureka, Consul, or Zookeeper. Which one are you considering?

I'm thinking about using Eureka. What are the steps to set it up?

First, add the Eureka server dependency to your project. Then, configure the application properties to enable the server.

What configuration do I need for the Eureka client?

For the Eureka client, you'll need to set the service URL and specify the application name in your configuration file.

Can you give me an example of the configuration?

Sure! Here's a basic example:

spring:
  application:
    name: my-service
  cloud:
    discovery:
      client:
        serviceUrl:
          defaultZone: http://localhost:8761/eureka/
