A distributed version of the Spring PetClinic sample application built with Spring Cloud, demonstrating microservices architecture with service discovery, API gateway, circuit breakers, and observability tooling. It serves as a reference implementation for learning how to split a monolithic Spring application into independently deployable microservices.

Use cases

  • learn how to build microservices with Spring Cloud
  • reference architecture for splitting a monolith into microservices
  • demonstrate service discovery with Eureka
  • set up distributed tracing with Zipkin and OpenTelemetry
  • monitor microservices with Prometheus and Grafana
  • implement circuit breakers and resilience patterns with Resilience4j
  • run a full microservices stack locally with docker-compose

When to choose

  • you want a well-maintained reference example of Spring Cloud microservices
  • you are learning microservices patterns like service discovery, config server, and API gateway
  • you need a sample app to practice observability with tracing, metrics, and dashboards
  • you want to see Spring AI integrated into a microservices setup

When to avoid

  • you need a production-ready application rather than a sample/demo project
  • you are not using the Java/Spring ecosystem
  • you want a minimal example without the overhead of multiple services and infrastructure components
