Netflix OSS on Heroku Demo: Eureka Client

This project demonstrates the use of a Netflix OSS with Spring Cloud on Heroku. It defines a trivial service and registers that service with a Eureka server.

Before using this project, you must have a Eureka Server deployed.

Quickstart

Once it's deployed, you will need to define $EUREKA_URL and $DOMAIN_NAME config variables as described below.

Deployment

If you have already deploy the Eureka Server to Heroku, then you should already have a Heroku account and toolbelt installed.

Once the Eureka Server is running, clone this project (the client) and move into it's root directory.

$ git clone [email protected]:kissaten/heroku-eureka-client-demo.git
$ cd heroku-eureka-demo/

Then create a Heroku application for the client by running this command:

$ heroku create
Creating fast-beach-5250... done, stack is cedar-14
https://fast-beach-5250.herokuapp.com/ | https://git.heroku.com/fast-beach-5250.git
Git remote heroku added
```

Now create a configuration variable to set the URL of the Eureka server.
Run this command, but substitute the URL for `<URL>` in the form `https://user:password@<appname>.herokuapp.com`:

```
$ heroku config:set EUREKA_URL=<URL>
```

Also create a configuration variable for the domain name of your service -- this is the domain name that can be used
to consume your service. By default it will be `<appname>.herokuapp.com`. You can set it like this:

```
$ heroku config:set DOMAIN_NAME="<appname>.herokuapp.com"
```

You're ready to deploy. There are two methods you can choose from: Git deployment and
Maven deployment. The former compiles the application remotely, while the latter
uses locally compiled artifacts and pushes them to Heroku.

### Deploying with Git

With you're application prepared (as describe above), simply run this command to
deploy via Git:

```sh-session
$ git push heroku master
```

Your code will be pushed to the remote Git repository, and the Maven process
will execute on the Heroku servers.

### Deploying with Maven

With you're application prepared, simply run this command to
deploy (but replace `<appname>`  with the name of the Heroku application you created):

```sh-session
$ mvn -Dheroku.appName=<appname> heroku:deploy
...

## Viewing Your Application

When your chosen deployment method is finished, run this command to view
your application:

```
$ heroku open
```

After about 30 seconds, you can check the service was registered with the Eureka server. Log into the server, and
you'll see "MY-SERVICE" under the section titled "Instances currently registered with Eureka".
