Spring Cloud Alibaba provides a one-stop solution for distributed application development. It contains all the components required to develop distributed applications, making it easy for you to develop your applications using Spring Cloud.
With Spring Cloud Alibaba, you only need to add some annotations and a small amount of configurations to connect Spring Cloud applications to the distributed solutions of Alibaba, and build a distributed application system with Alibaba middleware.
Features
Flow control and service degradation：flow control, circuit breaking and system adaptive protection with Sentinel.
Service registration and discovery：instances can be registered with Nacos and clients can discover the instances using Spring-managed beans. Supports Ribbon, the client side load-balancer via Spring Cloud Netflix.
Distributed Configuration：using Nacos as a data store
Event-driven：building highly scalable event-driven microservices connected with Spring Cloud Stream RocketMQ Binder
Message Bus: link nodes of a distributed system with Spring Cloud Bus RocketMQ
Distributed Transaction：support for distributed transaction solution with high performance and ease of use with Seata
Dubbo RPC：extend the communication protocols of Spring Cloud service-to-service calls by Dubbo RPC
Alibaba Cloud Object Storage：Spring Resource Abstraction for OSS. Alibaba Cloud Object Storage Service (OSS) is an encrypted, secure, cost-effective, and easy-to-use object storage service that enables you to store, back up, and archive large amounts of data in the cloud
Getting Started
The easiest way to get started is by including the Spring Cloud BOM and then adding spring-cloud-alibaba-dependencies to your application’s classpath. If you don’t want to include all of the Spring Cloud Alibaba features you can add individual starters for the features you would like.
The spring-cloud-alibaba-dependencies dependency in pom:
com.alibaba.cloud spring-cloud-alibaba-dependencies 2.1.0.RELEASE pom import The Spring Cloud Alibaba & Spring Cloud & Spring Boot compatibility table:
Spring Cloud Version
Spring Cloud Alibaba Version
Spring Boot Version
Spring Cloud Greenwich
2.1.x.RELEASE
2.1.x.RELEASE
Spring Cloud Finchley
2.0.x.RELEASE
2.0.x.RELEASE
Spring Cloud Edgware
1.5.x.RELEASE
1.5.x.RELEASE
As long as Spring Cloud Alibaba Nacos and the Nacos API are on the classpath any Spring Boot application with @EnableDiscoveryClient will try to contact a Nacos Server on localhost:8848 (the default value of spring.cloud.nacos.discovery.server-addr):
@SpringBootApplication
public class Application {
@RequestMapping("/")
public String home() {
return “Hello World”;
}
public static void main(String[] args) {
SpringApplication.run(Application.class, args);
}
}
A local Nacos server must be running. See the Nacos documentation on how to run a Nacos server.
Quick start
Bootstrap your application with Spring Initializr.
