← Back to Spring Boot Tutorial

In this article, I would like to suggest a few free open-source MicroServices projects developed using Spring Boot and Spring cloud for learning purposes.

Spring Boot is the most popular and widely used Java framework for building MicroServices.

Spring Cloud is a framework for building robust cloud applications. The framework facilitates the development of applications by providing solutions to many of the common problems faced when moving to a distributed environment.

Spring Cloud is essentially an implementation of various design patterns to be followed while building Cloud Native applications.

2. Shopping Cart App

This is a shopping cart application developed using Microservice Architecture with Spring Boot, Spring Cloud.

Here are the microservices:

catalog-service: It provides REST API to provide catalog information like products.
inventory-service: It provides a REST API to manage product inventory.
cart-service: It provides a REST API to hold the customer cart details.
order-service: It provides a REST API to manage orders.
customer-service: It provides a REST API to manage customer information.
shoppingcart-ui: It is customer-facing front-end web application.

6. Microservices Demo Project

This is a sample project to demonstrates the most interesting features of the Spring Cloud Project for building microservice-based architecture.

Architecture

This sample microservices-based system consists of the following modules:

gateway-service - a module that Spring Cloud Netflix Zuul for running Spring Boot application that acts as a proxy/gateway in our architecture.
config-service - a module that uses Spring Cloud Config Server for running configuration server in the native mode. The configuration files are placed on the classpath.
discovery-service - a module that depending on the example it uses Spring Cloud Netflix Eureka or Spring Cloud Netflix Alibaba Nacos as an embedded discovery server.
employee-service - a module containing the first of our sample microservices that allows us to perform CRUD operation on an in-memory repository of employees
department-service - a module containing the second of our sample microservices that allows to perform CRUD operation on an in-memory repository of departments. It communicates with employee-service.
organization-service - a module containing the third of sample microservices that allows us to perform CRUD operation on an in-memory repository of organizations. It communicates with both employee-service and organization-service.

The following picture illustrates the architecture described above:
