React JS + Spring Boot Microservices
9 min readSep 21, 2024
In this tutorial, we will create a full-stack application using Microservices architecture. We will set up two microservices, an API Gateway and a React application as the client. The tutorial will cover setting up the project, creating the microservices, configuring the API Gateway, and building the React application. We will also use Bootstrap for styling.

Microservices Architecture for this Tutorial
- React Frontend: The client application is built with React JS 18.
- API Gateway: Handles routing of requests to the appropriate microservice.
- Product Service: A microservice responsible for product-related operations.
- Order Service: A microservice responsible for order-related operations.
- Eureka Server: Used for service discovery, allowing the microservices to register and locate each other.
The arrows indicate the flow of communication:
- The React frontend communicates with the API Gateway.
- The API Gateway routes requests to either the Product Service or Order Service.
- Both the Product Service and Order Service register with the Eureka Server for service discovery.
