Spring Cloud

Spring Cloud provides tools for developers to quickly build some of the common patterns in distributed systems including configuration management, service discovery, circuit breakers, intelligent routing, micro-proxy, control bus, and distributed tracing. It builds on the Spring Boot approach to simplify microservice development and operations across cloud environments.

Spring Cloud publishes 3 APIs on the APIs.io network: Filters API, Predicates API, and Routes API. Tagged areas include Circuit Breaker, Cloud Native, Distributed Systems, Java, and Microservices.

The Spring Cloud catalog on APIs.io includes 1 JSON-LD context and 2 Spectral governance rulesets.

Spring Cloud’s developer surface includes documentation, engineering blog, Stack Overflow tag, and 7 more developer resources.
