Training Agenda

Spring Cloud
& API Gateway

Spring Cloud provides the infrastructure glue for microservice architectures: service discovery, centralized configuration, circuit breaking, and the API gateway that routes and filters traffic across services. It translates distributed systems theory into practical Spring Boot components. This training covers the most production-relevant Spring Cloud modules and the Spring Cloud Gateway for building API gateways in front of microservice backends.

1–2 days On-site, remote, or hybrid Up to 20 participants German or English
What We Cover
Microservice infrastructure built on Spring
Day 1

Service Discovery, Config & Resilience

  • Eureka service registry: client-side discovery, health checks, registration
  • Spring Cloud Config Server: Git-backed configuration, encryption, refresh scope
  • @RefreshScope: runtime configuration updates without restarts
  • Resilience4j: Circuit Breaker, Rate Limiter, Retry, Bulkhead
  • Feign clients: declarative HTTP clients with load balancing and circuit breaking
  • OpenFeign with Resilience4j integration
  • Spring Cloud LoadBalancer: client-side load balancing replacing Ribbon
  • Distributed tracing integration: Micrometer Tracing with Zipkin/Tempo
Day 2

Spring Cloud Gateway

  • Gateway architecture: predicates, filters, routes
  • Predicate factories: Path, Host, Header, Query, Method
  • Filter factories: AddRequestHeader, StripPrefix, RewritePath, RequestRateLimiter
  • Custom filters: GlobalFilter, GatewayFilter implementations
  • Rate limiting with Redis: RequestRateLimiter filter and Redis token bucket
  • Authentication at the gateway: JWT validation, token relay to downstream
  • Circuit breaker integration: fallback routes
  • Actuator gateway routes: inspecting live routes and filters
Learning Outcomes
What your team walks away with

Backend architects and developers who can build the Spring Cloud infrastructure layer — service discovery, centralized config, circuit breaking, and an API gateway — as production-grade components.
