Developers use Actuator to enable API Gateway routes in order to keep track of the routes being used in their application. By exposing these routes through Actuator endpoints, developers can get valuable information…
Read More Viewing Spring Cloud API Gateway Routes with Spring Boot ActuatorIn a microservices architecture, it is common to have multiple services communicating with each other over the network. This distributed nature of the architecture can make it challenging to diagnose and debug issues when they arise. To address this problem, developers often use monitoring(Micrometer) and tracing tools(Zipkin) to track the flow of requests between microservices.…
