spring-cloud-starter-eureka-server

Spring Cloud Starter Eureka Server is a starter dependency that provides the Eureka Server module of the Spring Cloud Netflix project. Eureka Server is a service registry that enables microservices to discover and communicate with each other. With Eureka, each microservice registers itself with the Eureka Server and queries the Eureka Server to find other microservices it depends on.

The Spring Cloud Starter Eureka Server provides an easy way to set up an Eureka server instance in a Spring Boot application. It includes all the necessary dependencies and configuration to enable the Eureka Server and register services.

To use Spring Cloud Starter Eureka Server, you can add the following dependency to your project:

<dependency>
  <groupId>org.springframework.cloud</groupId>
  <artifactId>spring-cloud-starter-netflix-eureka-server</artifactId>
</dependency>

After adding the dependency, you can annotate your main Spring Boot application class with `@EnableEurekaServer` to enable the Eureka Server:

@SpringBootApplication
@EnableEurekaServer
public class EurekaServerApplication {

    public static void main(String[] args) {
        SpringApplication.run(EurekaServerApplication.class, args);
    }

}

Once you have the Eureka Server set up, you can register microservices with it using the `@EnableDiscoveryClient` annotation in your microservice application.

Overall, the Spring Cloud Starter Eureka Server provides an easy and efficient way to set up an Eureka Server in a Spring Boot application and enable microservice communication.
