Service Registry

A Spring Boot application serving as a Service Registry using Consul for microservice discovery and registration. It loads configuration dynamically from environment variables defined in a .env file.

Features

• Loads environment variables with io.github.cdimascio.dotenv.Dotenv.
• Configures Spring Boot application properties dynamically:
  • Application name
  • Consul host and port for service registry
  • Server port for this registry service
• Integrates with Consul for microservices service discovery.

Prerequisites

• Java 17+ (compatible with your Spring Boot version)
• Maven for build and run
• A running Consul instance for service registry
• .env file with necessary environment variables

Environment Variables

Example .env file:

SERVER_PORT=8761

Adjust these values based on your environment.
