Flying to clouds - can it be easy?
summary
A concrete recipe for moving a Java service to the cloud using Spring Cloud Netflix: a Git-backed Spring Cloud Config server, Eureka registry for discovery, a front-end news service and an article backend wired with a Feign declarative client and Ribbon load balancing. Demo shows config value changing from default 10 to 5, and stopping the article service triggers the Hystrix circuit breaker to open (fast failures, no fallback). Netflix numbers cited: >500 microservices, ~30% of Internet traffic, two billion edge calls.
