Episode notes
Microservices as Distributed Apps
- Distributed applications often default to microservices for independent scaling and deployment.
- Splitting monoliths introduces new challenges that require well-established design patterns.
Use Centralized Config Management
- Separate configuration from your application artifacts using Spring Cloud Config.
- This approach avoids redeploying for config changes and keeps consistent artifacts across environments.
Refresh Config with Spring Cloud Bus
- Use Spring Cloud Bus to broadcast config changes to multiple instances at runtime.
- This eliminates the need for manual restarts when updating configuration across services.
