In the previous section, 'Spring Cloud Microservices Beginner Tutorial (3): Service Registration,' we covered service registration.

In the previous section we covered 'Spring Cloud Microservices Beginner Tutorial (2): Service Registration and Discovery — Eureka,' which set up the microservices registry and discovery center. This section explains how to create a new microservice and register it with the registry.
This section starts from scratch: we create a new Maven multi-module project and complete a basic demo of Spring Cloud Eureka-based service registration and discovery. The demo uses the IntelliJ IDEA development environment. Create a new Maven project in IntelliJ IDEA with JDK 1.8. I prefer manual operations, so first create an empty Maven project with groupId net.renfei, artifactId cloud, and version 1.0.0.
My personal blog site has always stuck to one major update per year, but this time I decided not to update it, because the next update would mean adopting microservices.
