What java-microservices does

The skill covers Spring Cloud building blocks, including service discovery with Eureka or Consul, API Gateway routing, and load balancing. Its examples show a Kafka-based Saga and a Resilience4j circuit breaker. Retry policies, bulkhead isolation, and rate limiting are also covered.

For observability, it describes Micrometer tracing, Prometheus metrics, and log correlation through trace IDs. Gateway route configuration and troubleshooting notes address issues such as lost messages and service discovery delays. The examples target Java and Spring Cloud; Kafka scenarios require messaging to be set up. Skill parameters let you select an architecture pattern and a messaging platform.

What it helps with

  • design communication between Java microservices
  • configure Spring Cloud Gateway routes
  • add a Resilience4j circuit breaker
  • coordinate order events with a Kafka Saga
  • diagnose lost messages or service discovery issues

Example prompts for the agent

  • Set up a Spring Cloud gateway for order requests and add circuit-breaker protection.
  • Show how to coordinate order, inventory, and payment events with a Kafka Saga.
  • Explain how to add Micrometer tracing and Prometheus metrics to these services.
