Discovery Service is the central registry in the MicroServiceGrid ecosystem.
It allows microservices to automatically register and discover each other, enabling dynamic service lookup without hardcoded URLs.

• Service registration with automatic deregistration on shutdown
• Dynamic service discovery for REST clients
• Load balancing between service instances
• Integration with API Gateway and all core services
• Key component for resilient inter-service communication

• Java 21
• Spring Boot 3
• Spring Cloud Netflix Eureka
• Docker & Kubernetes
• GitHub Actions for CI/CD

All microservices (Order, Inventory, Product, Gateway) register here.

Discovery Service provides:

• ✅ REST clients dynamically discover active service instances
• ✅ Heartbeat registration and health checks
• ✅ Load balancing between service instances
