Netflix Eureka is a RESTful service registry used primarily in AWS cloud environments for service discovery, mid-tier load balancing, and failover. It is a core component of Netflix's microservice infrastructure and widely used with Spring Cloud.
Use cases
- service discovery for microservices
- client-side load balancing of mid-tier servers
- resilient failover between service instances
- register and look up service instances via REST
- run a service registry on AWS
When to choose
- you run JVM/Spring Cloud microservices and need a battle-tested service registry
- you deploy on AWS and want mid-tier load balancing and failover
- you need a REST-based registry with client-side caching of instance lists
When to avoid
- you need Kubernetes-native service discovery (use kube-dns/Consul instead)
- your stack is not JVM-based, since clients are primarily Java
- you want a modern actively-evolving registry with first-class non-Java support
