Service Registry

Service registry is database of services. It contains information about all service instances and their locations.

If used, client service can use service registry to determine the location of a service instance to which it wants to send requests.

How to define a service registry

In the following example, we will define a service registry named ServiceRegistry:

service_registry ServiceRegistry {
    client_mode=False
    deployment {
        version="0.0.1"
        port=9091
        url="http://localhost"
        host=container
    }
}

As seen above, service registry has following attributes:

• name (mandatory) - name of the service registry.
• ~~tool (mandatory) - defines which tool will be used as a service registry. Currently, Silvera supports only Eureka~~ This attribute is removed in version 0.3.0.
• client_mode (mandatory) - defines whether service registry can be registered within another service registry or not.
• deployment (mandatory) - defines how registry will be deployed. Attributes of deployment are defined here.
